I am looking at getting a dualband antenna to take on some grid activations while traveling this year, and wonder if there is a consensus as to which one is the best? It wouldn't have to be a specific handheld one as I think most of the dualband ones can be held by the end of the boom and also mounted for portable operations.

I'm very much a rookie at this, but I like my Arrow Antenna. Easy to put together and it works.
