On 30 meters, I'm using a Pro Am 30-meter whip up about 7.5
meters on my house.  It's grounded using wire to a 7-foot ground
rod in the soil.  I'm getting an SWR of 3:1 at 100 watts and
1.6:1 when I use 20 watts.  I do not have radials or a
counterpois on it the antenna.  Being disabled, it's not easy to
get those installed, so I'm thinking of just getting an antenna
tuner.  I'm looking at two models:

The MFJ-945E at $99

and the

Vectronics VC-300M at $99

Which one would you folks recommend?
