TenTec had a reduced price on a demo unit (they often have these, so check) and it made a difference for me. It's now on my Omni VII and the same antenna. Worked Japan and South Korea last night through the pack on 40M LSB. Yes, I know I've got to run the 240 lines as I have a pair of Herc II's waiting, but I've only been at this QTH a year and those things take time. Same with the tower. Actually, CW and digital, barefoot and wire antennas are a lot of fun and I'm working a lot of DX.

You'll have no trouble telling when it's set the way you want it. The darned thing works well. Of course, neither it, nor more power, nor a big antenna is a substitute for good operating practices.
