Bryant a buddy of mine just bought one. Used it one hunt and broke it. It will get you a little more range but if you go in the woods much with it ,it wont last long.. It's just like an antenna on an old radio, bends easy..
That's what I figured when I first looked also. Looks like the folding, unfolding, telescoping, etc would end it up broke pretty quick.
Just as a sidenote, thanks to my two boys I also discovered that the Garmin long range antenna's absolutely SUCK when used for the purpose of a sword. I straightened best I could and it's functional, but far from being 100%.
Boys....
