[QUOTE="All The Way, post: 320981, member: 2481"] Update: I finally got play around with and take a picture of the 2m Larson PQ antenna. I did some testing with it and it works very well. Was able to work stations 40+ miles away in a urban environment. In rural areas it will have even better range. The reason I picked up this little guy was I broke the dual band Comet antenna racing the truck off road. The Larson is around 18 inches so I should have to worry about breaking it off. The antenna comes longer then needed. It has to be cut for the frequency range you plan on using. A good SWR meter helps dial it in.

Yaesu FT-857D with a Yeasu ATAS-120A antenna. The radio can automatically control the antenna length for the best SWR on HF bands with the push of a button. NOT FOR USE OFF ROAD....
