Guys,

thinking of buying a Chameleon V4 and a MFJ tri-mag mount for mobile HF operation with my IC7000. For any of you with a V4 on a mag mount I have a few questions:

- will this antenna work mobile without a tuner? If so, on what bands?
- will this antenna stay on the roof of my car and up to what speed?
 

Yes it will work. If you do so make sure to ground the base of the V4 to your vehicle chassis with a ground wire. The V4 will cover 2M to around 20M depending of the antenna installation and height on your vehicle.

Now I don't know what frequencies you're looking for but have a look at their new antenna here:

The V4 will be mounted on the top of my car, so not a lot of height. ;) I do not want to use a tuner, so I would be very happy if it was somewhat resonant from 20m-70cm (according to the Chameleon SWR plot I could be lucky!).

Don't know if I can get it grounded, but I will try.

Thanks for your info so far! Anyone who has some info about it not falling off at speed? :)
