The idea of having a portable antenna that could be used on my FT-817 was my motivating reason for the purchase of this antenna. The stainless steel extendable whip and the overall construction of the tuner is excellent quality. The addition of the led for SWR check does work, and gives and indication of the best tuner setting when used. THE BAD NEWS: The PL-259 that connects to the antenna connector on the rig was of poor quality. The screw-on shell was a little too large, and the thread pitch didn't appear to be correct either. The tuner would easily pop off from the antenna connector when turning the tuner knob. The connector on the Yaesu is correct and fits the Amphenol PL-259 properly. I was unable to find a proper replacement for the chassis mounted connector on the Miracle Antenna tuner by searching the Internet. I finally repaired the unit by cutting an Amphenol connector shell in half and using it as a repacement for the shell mounted on the tuner's connector. The tuner now attaches to my rig properly with out popping off.Read full review

For the $100 plus I spent on this, A few more bucks and I would have had a better product. Grant it, it is small and great for a back pack but, unless your on a building top or mountain it is useless.
