💬 Early Adopters Feedback
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Perfect for POTA. Light, easy to tune, and works great with my X6100!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “The new encapsulated coil is a huge improvement—protected, clean, and super fast to adjust. It tunes easily in seconds. Best portable antenna I’ve used in this size class.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Love that it uses a standard 3/8-24 mounting thread—makes it compatible with Chameleon whips. Just be aware the top connection is a bolt, so most whip elements (also bolts) will require a dual-female coupler/adapter.”
