I was thinking of getting a screwdriver antenna for my pickup
truck and was wondering if anyone out there has any experience
with the various models of the N9JMX Predator or the Tarheel
line of screwdrivers. I would like something that will tune 160 - 10M,
be as reasonably efficient as one can expect from a mobile
antenna, and handle at least 500 watts (preferably 1500W).

The Tarheel 200 advertises 1500Watts power handling,
but doesn't cover 160meters. Their model 300 covers 160
but is advertised as only handling 400 watts. Or am I barking
up the wrong tree trying to get an all-in-one 160 -10 meter
mobile antenna (e.g. would it be better to get two antennas, 1
for lowbands, and 1 for highbands)?

Thanks,

Mike, W4EF............................................................
