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.
Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
