The nice thing about the KAT-1 Tuner is it can use a multitude of different length wires,, 83 feet over tree limbs is my favorite. 50 feet run from a fishing pole to a flag pole one mounted on the rear of the RV and the other in a "Park on base" under the right front tire (The pole will also hold a flag in a few days) is the current antenna. On the road there is a bit over 30 feet of COPPER TUBING with a CB sprial wound on the end of it about 2 inches above the roof, Does not work well on low bands but actually better on the higher bands.
That said,, Mobile I use mostly VHF/UHF since I do not care for tuning.
