    Yep the G5RV-JR is VERY cheap to buy simple to set up and does a good job with a good tuner

    My DX-CC is 90 foot long covers 80 - 10 and if you get it up high
    does very well with my MFJ tuner .... it will back up the R7 for HF.

    This unit has a front firing speaker on the right, you can see the grille in the pic. this is right handy as my scanner is right below this unit with its downward firing speaker, three channel weatherband and an excellent transmitter compared to the 510 especially. I upgraded the mic with a Astatic Road Devil pwr mic, works well at about 50%

    Nice PIC TURBO GUS !!! I appreciate that ! I have heard those are pretty good radios ! I have owned several UNIDENS and I have ALWAYS been pleased with their quality ! Do you have to run an external speaker OR is that front firing speaker loud enough without it ??
