Let me try this again.
 
I am not trying to determine which ant to buy.
 
I use now a perfectly good TH7 (yes 3 bands) and a perfectly good 80 m  
dipole and my present radio (1000MP) is a good radio and I work almost all I  hear 
on 20,15 and 10.
 
I picked up a 706 MKIIG at lower than the old price so now have another  
radio. With my MP and TH7 I had almost no success wkg 12 and 17. Maybe the  
internal built in tuner on the MP does not like the TH7 on 12 and 17 only. It  loves 
20,15 and 10, only.
 
My q was .. if I get the ICOM tuner, AH-4 and use it with my new 706 and my  
SUPERB (on 20,15,10) TH7 or the 80m dipole (also superb) should I expect that 
I  could hear/work more DX on 12 and 17 ? 
 
The MP just does not like to play on 12 and 17 with my present TH7.
 
Any better ?
