Mfg and model # = Outbacker Perth 10-80m
Vertical Antenna
Name = John, Anchorage, AK
Call =
KL7JR
Category type = HF Vertical Antenna (mobile)
Rating = 5
Excellent
Time owned = 10 years
Purchased new or used? =
New
Comments = Tuning instructions were simple to follow,
and I was up and running in about 10 minutes. In the past 10
years I've used the Outbacker on a couple of vehicles, a boat and
several times from my canoe activating islands. Switching
bands is easy and fast with the supplied plug and play jumper wire.
Over the years I've worked a lot of DX with this antenna, and I can
honestly say I never had a bit of trouble with this antenna. I
will purchase the new Outbacker with 160 meters in the near
future. This is a ruggedly built quality product and I highly
recommend it. 73, de Yukon John, KL7JR

Comments about the equipment in your own
words*:
|
I bought this new from R&L in Ohio.
The product looks/feels solid. But after 3 months the washers
dried and cracked, the set screws rusted, and the others bolts
rusted. This was installed in April and started rusting before
it saw snow/salt. Jetstream offered to replace it at my
expense to return it. I didn't take them up on the offer. I'm
sure another one would rust as well. Pay a little more and buy
comet.diamond.
Thx
