Howdy Dave,
I own two HQ-129s refurbed per original manual. Also got the
new front panels from on line. They are currently monitoring
(1) 80 and 40 meters, and the 2nd is sitting on 10 meters only.
Antenna is a 100 ft. Flat-top (3 wires) to a single down lead.
then into a low power EFJ Matchbox then to the receivers.
They seem to hear quite well and I use them on AM and CW.

FWIW
