Good points, but consider the costs if you wanted mono band antennas for all the bands 6 Thru 40m, you would spend almost as much as a Little Tarheel HP screwdriver, And have remote tuning to cover all the bandwidth 6 thru 40m and even 60m with a cap hat or longer whip, where mono band antennas narrow up below 20m requiring retuning or another antenna stored in the trunk.

A Little Tarheel is light enough for a magmount. It weighs less than 2lbs.

I did the mono band set-up before with Hustler resonators and tri-band mast adapters which worked but also required work maintaining it.

After going to the screwdriver, I never looked back!

Just something to consider…
