I use HF-40 FX with ICOM IC-706mkII for more than 2 year
Easy to get low swr and good signal report.
Flexible whip is good for parking in the basement, no need to remove.

I have had the Diamond HF40FX for over two and a half years. I use it with the Diamond K600 mount on the trunk of my Honda Accord. To make sure I have a good ground there is a grounding strap attached from the trunk to the car body. It works very well for a short antenna on 40 meters and my contacts are surprised at how well it works. The size and configuration make it no more obtrusive looking than a CB antenna. The only draw back is that it is not sold in the U.S. I had my son pick it up for me when he was in Japan.

Easy to SWR
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

Stands approx 1.4m tall and very strong in design with a flexable tip. And what I love about the antenna was the extremely low SWR without wasting several hours trying to get it right less than 5 minutes with the adjustable tip. No ATU required just a radio and a monoband antenna. How good is that!!!. I was so impressed with 40m version so I brought the 20m (HF-20FX) version and same story great signals across 20m.
Well done Diamond antennas A++ to U...
