Stuart said (re the TenTec 1251):
.
There are many hams in small apartments who don't have room for quarter wave wires inside or out, who can benefit by a counterpoise tuner and a 10 foot wire.

I am taking a pair of 1251's on my camping and portable trips. One to tune the random length end fed wire antenna and the other one to tune the counterpoise. Tuning the counterpoise really improves results. The 1251 is a high quality unit (variable inductor employing silver wire seems very efficient). 73 Chas W3KC
