Thanks to everyone that replied about the Isotron.

The consensus was:  Yes that it works for short distances, but poor for DX.  
It is better than nothing and OK for apartment or condo hams.  It should be 
on a metal pole to radiate properly.  The SWR bandwidth is very narrow.  It 
is basically a radiating L-C circuit.
