When I get to a campsite and if I have room I will set up my Maldol HVU-8, that gives me 2 thru 80...along with the tuner its not that bad...good luck on your choice...
I have a uhv 6 antenna. I intend to mount this to a pole attached to the frame of my firberglass 5th whee. Will that give me enough of a ground plane. Secondly how did you tune it. I put it all together adn attempted to tune it with a mfj meter. My swr readings were all over the place. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
