For Rx I heartily suggest the HI-Z units
as I have the 3 element version and it
works wonderfully. I'd like to upgrade to
a 8 element but the 3 element is not
upgradable. Small footprint, easy assy and
I find it works great as a separate or
diversity antenna for up to 10M. It is an
excellent antenna for a Dxpedetion as it's
very effective, directional and quick to
assemble/take down.
