They are OK but due to motor drift they may not produce flat SWR but fine for while driving. I have heard mixed revues for the auto tune ones they are out there for less than $200. I took my home made screw drive ground mount with me on a trip down south and I have found it to be a fair amount better than mounting it on my pole behind the camper above the roof. I don't think I would worry about 160 with a screw driver antenna it probably would make a better heater than an antenna.
