Howdy all: Anyone have experience with this antenna? Comments/suggestions? Thank You mcclellan
 

Like a lot of MFJ's products it's not getting rave reviews on eHam. I've never purchased any of MFJ's antennas due to quality issues with their products in general. I knew a ham in Indiana who bought one of their crazy looking all band HF vertical base antennas and it was a nightmare of problems Even two of the four reviews on the MFJ web site indicate quality issues with this antenna. You're better off building a dipole or ordering one from The RadioWorks. Jim makes some nice multiband wires if you have the real estate to hang them up.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
