    Well I finally made up my mind, based on the input from you all and reviews on EHam, and ordered up a Daiwa CN901HP3 from Ham Radio Outlet in Denver. Jim, there, was very nice and easy to deal with. Thanks for that. I don't have a way to verify the accuracy of the 901 when it arrives, any...

    Thanks for the links, Workman units were certainly on the short list. Any comments on the Dosy line? I've seen mixed reviews on MFJ in that they needed to be checked for accuracy and calibrated, I would have no way to do that. Also the light bulb issue ........... Did they correct these issues...

    I had not completed the antenna install and had to make an emergency trip out of state and let with my coax laying on the ground outside. Came back to find rabbits had chewed on a section. Obviously there is already some corrosion occurring. This section will end up in a vertical orientation...
