OPERATIONS.  I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY USED IT WITH POPULAR LOW POWER RADIOS SUCH
AS THE ICOM IC 705 AND YAESU FT 817/818, BOTH OF WHICH LACK A BUILT IN
ANTENNA TUNER.  I HAVE ALSO TESTED IT WITH AN IC 7300 IN A FIXED LOCATION.
THIS MAGNETIC LOOP ANTENNA PROVIDES COVERAGE FOR THE 40 THROUGH 10 METER
BANDS AND BOASTS A 3 FOOT DIAMETER LOOP, MAKING IT AN EXCELLENT CHOICE FOR
INDIVIDUALS OPERATING IN RESTRICTED LOCATIONS WHERE LARGER ANTENNAS MAY NOT
BE PERMITTED.  LIKE MANY MAGNETIC LOOPS, IT IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR
LOW POWER OPERATIONS AND HAS A POWER RATING OF 10 W ON CW/ DIGITAL/ FM AND
25 W ON SSB.  THE INCLUDED COAXIAL CABLE COMES WITH A BNC CONNECTOR, THOUGH
A MOUNTING BRACKET FOR THE ANTENNA MAST IS NOT INCLUDED.  PERSONALLY, I
UTILIZED A CAMERA TRIPOD AND EXPERIMENTED WITH VARIOUS OTHER MOUNTING
