For use 40-10m the antenna is acceptable as is. On 60 & 80 you would need an external ATU.

- feel i have a good starter aerial
- i am new to HF so wanted something that wont break the bank but will let me dip my toe in the pool so to speak, this aerial gives me good reception and my internal tuner on the yaesu FT-450D can tune from 6 -40m no trouble, i dont yet have an external ATU to work on improving the 80m tuning but am happy with what i have for the price.
- Top Company
- Had a load of advise from Chris who is top man with a bundle of knowledge who put me right, don't be put off by the price as it's a very good antenna if have small gardens, you won't won't be disappointed.Colin
