I have two of the \nprevious version and they work very well. One I use for VHF \nroving/portable use and the other is mast mounted. They do need to be \nput in an enclosure of some sort and Mini Kits sells a nice enclosure \nthat fits nicely and is not expensive.

At current exchange rates, these are roughly the same price as the ARR, and considerably cheaper than some other mast-mount alternatives. The IC-9100 powers them through the coax without the need for any other supply.\n>\n> I have no affiliation with the company, but they've been working flawlessly for me for a couple of years now at my home station.--\n>\n> Mark D.
