I used a Perth for several years. Worked OK on 10 thru 40. Made lots of contacts with OK to good signal reports. Broadbanded enough for whole band on 10 thru 20. About 80 kHz wide on 40. 10 kHz wide on 80, where people could sort of hear me. Had to stop to change bands, of course. Had a Hamstick for 60.

Now I use a Tarheel 200 screwdriver. Works noticeably to "dramatically" better everywhere, especially 60 and 80. Presets let me change bands while moving. Wouldn't go back.
