Ham Radio Equipment and Product Reviews Antennas: HF Mobile & Accessories (including mounts) 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 KL7JR at Yahoo.com Brand and Model number*: Model # JT405C Jet Stream Your first name*: Bart Call Sign*: kd8gtp Type of equipment reveiwed- Be specific! Example Yaesu FT-107 Hf transceiver, Hustler 4btv vertical antenna*: Model # JT405C Trunk lip mount w/cable/connector Your overall rating (5 is excellent, 1 is poor)*: 1 Enter time owned or used, years/months*: 6months Purchased new or used*: new 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 Posted 05-13-2012 Submit your review here!      Hamuniverse.com uses Green Geeks Web Hosting!
