Hi Seumas, excellent video, many thanks! I bought one of these antennas a couple of years ago, mostly to use on my FT-70D. I find it useful for listening to civil and military air bands and also marine as well as the 2m and 70cm for transmit. It's good on train journeys as I can lie the FT-70D on its back and use the hinge to position the antenna against the window; this seems to receive best. Either a headset or speaker mic avoids disturbing fellow passengers though I do get the odd funny look 😄 Take care, all the best for the holidays...73, G0CIQ
