Vlad. look at the Eagle 1. Since you plan to locate yourself in one spot, it might be just what the Dr. ordered. collapsed it is only 4 ft. long, easily lengthened to 31 feet. I used one on my motorhome and it worked well. Phil K4PJS

Hi Vlad,
Since you're stuck with mobile operation, invest in a better antenna. Hustlers and Ham Sticks are reasonably priced and they are resonant so no tuner is required. Screw Driver antennas are multi-band but more expensive.I used a Hustler for decades with great results.
DX Engineering can advise you or you might find something at a hamfest.
Later,Joe, K8MP

Subject: [FT100] Needing portable tuner for my 100D...
Hi guys,I would like a tuner to get into HF with my rig. I have a mobile antenna, I believe 48" tall. I know mobile is not ideal, but I'd like to go park atop one of the San Bernardino mountains (or close enough) and play a bit. I'm looking at the MFJ-939Y--compact, for on-the-road and at home (don't have a shack, so nothing too fancy or expensive). Is this a good tuner? and, is getting one at under list price possible ($149.99)? Been looking...
Any other pertinent info/questions are welcome. :)
