En dipol är svårt att misslyckas med, trots att det är en mycket enkel antenn är byggkvaliten riktigt bra med tanke på att den är så lätt. Jag har använt min mer än 200 tillfällen och efter det är den lite lappad men är man duktig på att ta hand om grejjerna och avlasta kablarna håller den ännu fler tillfällen. Perfekt för oss som kör portabelaktiviter.
