X-Tenna Switchable EFHW Antenna for Ham Radio - $65.00 ASSEMBLED?! Xtenna

KC8YBC sent me an X-tenna antenna for review. I took 20 minutes to record my random thoughts about this antenna, while giving you an opportunity to get more intimate with this antenna.
If you purchase this antenna / EFHW Autotransformer, please make a note that you purchased this after watching my video. I DO NOT get commission or anything, but I believe it is nice to allow the owner of a company to see who is brining them sales.. And if not, thanks anyway.

A few points BEFORE Watching:
the description below states that at 67 feet of wire, this will get you 40m, 20m, 10m and 17/15m with a tuner. I was able to achieve a under 2 SWR on 15m, but these results may vary (you'll have to test your own).
Speaking of wire, I describe the wire as Polystealth like, this may be confusing. I was referring to the wire (at least I think) as having a memory, unlike silicone wire. So, it is poly stealth like in that aspect.
switching the antenna while in use (transmitting) is probably not recommended and may potentially cause damage to your radio, in some freak situation. I don't recommend it.
While using this on my flex radio, I did use the tuner and was able to tune other bands, like 17, without issue.
I made ft8 contacts with 38 watts into South Africa on 10m, no worries there.
There is so much I COULD talk about with this efhw, but I have to leave it somewhere.
Watch this prior to purchasing another antenna.
