In the past i have had nothing good to say about the 10k antenna and for the record let me say now that i was very wrong!I have always loved my 102 steel whip.Thats what i have used for along time but after hearing all of the good things about the 10k i went out and got one for myself.I tried the 10k out and after a week or so of use for whatever reason i saw no increase in performance over the 102 so i never used the 10k again.Mind you that this had been over a year or so ago since i last used it and in that time the 10k looked very nice sitting in the corner of my radio room.Well this past week i thought just for the hell of it i would try it once more.Now im not sure what was wrong with my setup the last time i tried it,maybe a bad coax or something but man let me tell you this thing ROCKS!My receive and transmit performance has gone way up,how do i know?Well i drive around 60 miles to work each way and before with my whip talking to the wife was sometimes hard to do.I could hear her and she could hear me but it was nothing to write home about.But now i can hear her like she is sitting right beside me,totaly blew my mind that she now comes in as strong as she does.I had her to record me this past friday while i was on my way home(60 miles away)and i think its the best that i have ever sounded.I find it very hard to beleive that this antenna can perform so well over anything i have ever used before,its just like night and day.
I just want all here to know that all the BS i said about the 10K was just that,BS.This has got to be the very best antenna for mobile use there is!
