Different people will give you different and often contradictory advice/reports on these multi-band verticals.
Some people love 'em, others hate 'em.
If you are stuck for space and need a single antenna that can 'sort of' work on many bands, then it might be the antenna for you.
I think it comes down to how well and where you install it. It would certainly explain the mass of contradictory reviews I've heard.

Yes! I didnt think of that !
I have seen some wire antenna's that are only £40 which cover 80-10M and others that cover the same for £140 what is the difference ? The quality of the copper wire ? The gauge of it ? And also how much would an auto atu set me back ? £150 ? I have looked at a few places but not sure if they are trying to rip me off.
Cheers
