Great antenna made by Harvest in Taiwan Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
If you are looking for one of these antennas, I found the X3200 sold under the Harvest brand name to be either the same or a perfect copy. The Diamond is made in Japan and the Harvest is made in Taiwan. Maybe Diamond uses the Taiwan model as they look identical with the same specs. Either way the Harvest antenna works as advertised and is really well made. I could only check the 2 meter and 440 Mhz bands with my MFJ analyzer but they are right on I bought my antenna from a seller on eBay for $135 including shipping. Note: for some reason the Diamond version is not available anywhere. DX Engineering had it but does not know why they don't now, Figure that one out.

Solid 3 Band Performance Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I've had this antenna in use for many years. The bandwidth is as advertised on all three bands. Performance is equal to mono-band antennas of comparable size. The antenna has been extremely reliable with no failures in 10 years. Definitely a keeper!

Great Antnenna Time Owned: more than 12 months.
This is a great antenna. I have been using it for over a year, two hurricanes later, it is still working like a champ!

Very Good Antenna Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Had one up at 2 QTH's for over 6 years. Not one problem, knock on wood...

The only thing I did was wrap the joints well with quality electrical tape. Not sure it needed it, but it's cheap insurance against water intrusion.

Best For Me Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I bought this antenna in 1995. I installed it about 8 feet above the peak of my roof. I matched the antenna and have never touched it again. I check the swr after each winter or bad storms. It has never been higher than 1.9 anywhere on any of the three bands. How's that for performance after 14 years. If I ever had to buy another, this would be it.
