OK, things just changed. I forgot that if I am lucky enough to park the RV under a tree that 23' whip I was looking at could be a problem.
I have an FT 897D coming with an AH-4 tuner that I will have to use a Better RF Tune control to use.
I am going to start out with a standard 102" whip.
At least this way I can fold it over for trees and I have added wire to a whip before to get a longer antenna to throw into the trees.
Should work just fine and make a nice mobile station for the MH.
