Great for simple systems, set it, tune it, forget it.
This antenna has been a great simple system to use. I mount it on the top of my car, run the cord through my apartment window, and can talk coast-to-coast in the US and have had a handful of DX contacts on it (100w). Strong signal. Function wise, it's relatively easy to use, like a dynamic hamstick system. For the price, it's a great starter system. I've used it for POTA, day-to-day apartment usage, and plan to use it while traveling.Pros:-SWR is solid.-Will hold it's tune if stored securely. I set mine for 20 meters, and use it routinely for 20 meters. I have never had to adjust it, after setting it to 20m, to make it stay on 20 meters with good SWR (Note: with ATU)-High value for low price.Con:-If you want to switch bands, adjusting it can be a pain. Using a sharpie (or a piece of shrink tubing) to mark where the bands are located will streamline the process.-I cannot get this to adequately ground if not mounted on the magnetic mount. I will blame this partly on user error, but also partly on the antenna just not being configured to handle non-magnet mount grounding systems.

Poor design
Had to clean stuff up from the inside left over from being made. Would not screw into mag mount all the way. Signal very bad with high SWR when “tuned”. Would not recommend buying.
