NIce design  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
I received mine together with my IC-703 and the batterypack on a special offer. The antenna works fine and is very good designed. The only thing that bothers me is that it is to long for transport. It would have been better to have some more pieces of about 30 cm.

Works Great!  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
I set the AH-703 up with the IC-703+ in the backpack configuration. Walked out on my porch wearing the backpack, literally tossed the counterpoise wires out on the ground, hit the tune button. 1:1 match. Heard a Georgia station calling CQ...figured what the heck, I'll try it. He gave me a 5-9 report and copy both ways was rock solid. Not bad from SE Wyoming on a 4 foot whip on 20m on a Saturday afternoon. Yes, it works!
