[ICOM] ATU Mobile

You Bet! Hi Q mobile antennas with BOSS controller. Do a Google search on 
each and you will get all the good dope.

Can anyone recommend a solution to this?

I want to use multiple bands while mobile.  I have an IC706, it has no
automatic tuner, but it feeds Hustler whips quite well.

Is there anything as efficient as the Hustlers on 80 and 40 meters (or
better?) that I can use an automatic tuner (ATU) with a standard 102 inch
whip?

I know one manufacturer makes a whip that has two antennas inside it, one
that is helically wound for use at lower frequencies (40, 80) and a standard
no coil whip inside that.  I've not heard if these are worth the money.
They are expensive because of the dual antennas in one package.

Any suggestions would be helpful.
