Re: Quad band antenna?
MFJ electronics have previously suffered from poor quality control, but the 347 is a mechanical part that holds screw in whips. Not a lot to mess up.

Re: Quad band antenna?
Diamond makes the CR8900A quad-band antenna. I dont know if they are still a production item, but I see there are some on Amazon. I have one that I am not using if someone wants to test drive

Re: Quad band antenna?
Ok, now that I’m fired up about 6m I also am looking at antenna options.
I don’t see any quad band solutions. If you’re excluding beams of various descriptions, the best solution a short search

Re: Quad band antenna?
Bob,
The GP-15 is exactly what I was thinking. Wondering, though, if adding 10m in one antenna is worth any compromise. I expect to have great propagation from the QTH. MFJ does not have the best

Yes Paul my SteppirIR covers 6 and 10m. This new antenna will be at a secondary QTH.

Re: Quad band antenna?
After last week’s new ham net, I checked out a few of the ideas. My current direction would be the GP-15 for 70-2-6 with the MFJ-347 for 10m. You may want to check out YouTube for videos on

Re: 6 meter tune up
Thanks Paul (W7PFB) for testing 6M SSB and FM with me this weekend.
I'm looking for others in various QTH's to continue testing with. Let me know if interested.

Quad band antenna?
Looking for comments on quad band UHF/VHF antennas. Too much compromise? Tri-band instead? Favorites? I am jazzed about 6m FM now and think I might as well add 10m FM so I do not need to use my HF
