Force 12 makes a flagpole antenna. Their design is all metal, not PVC with a wire inside (although that should certainly work, too). Like any ground mounted vertical, it needs radials (as many as you

Of course, that's the comment by -one- reviewer. Sometimes these issues are really opinions.. one person may like, another may not. Differences between the performance level of various radios will ce
