Working DX was surprisingly easy with this antenna. It's a great hi-band multibander, and is quite versatile. It's beam width makes it great for hearing the DX even when you're not specifically aimed at it. This makes it a good choice when using the Scanner. It does, however, break the Antenna Info window. Using it for receiving or transmitting makes the info window freeze, lock up and non-functional until you restart the transceiver.
