I can only play HF mobile and I have purchased one of these antenna's for £100 with all the addons, and I have worked the world, from a magmount on my car.
Would recommend this antenna to anyone.

It works
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
I got this antenna about 1,5 years ago and added the 20 m option about 4 months after. Because it comes with a japanese manual it isn't easy to understand how to setup at first. I have it mounted on the tow hitch of the car because it is WAY TOO HEAVY for the trunk mount (especially with 40 m on top, which makes the antenna about 1.8 m tall)! On the tow hitch 40 m and 15 m work, 10 m radiates against the back of the car (radiator is mounted top down!) so is pretty useless and 20 m interferes with the radio (FT-857). Finally 2m and 70 cm work well ;-). So far I have only been able to work some stations on 15 m while driving high up in the mountains in Northern Italy, so I guess we need some mountains over here too for it to work.

Heavy & not flexible
|
Time owned: 6 to 12 months
|
Heavy and not flexible. Is it really mobile?
Small screws easily drive crazy.
High finishing level.

Excelent!
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

As everything from Diamond, this antenna is no exeption in quality.
Assembly is straight forward (about 0,5-1 hour, without tuning), despite the supplied japanese sheet omits measurements so it becomes a bit hard to identify elements.
I use it together with the optional HVC14CX coil for 10 and 14 Mhz.
