I use a pair of Jacobs Accuvolts .. and they're pretty noisy on 6M (the lowest frequency in the rover). One of them is on all the time and lives in an RF-tight box with industrial filtered feedthroughs, the other is keyed by the sequencer for the low-band station so it's only enabled during transmit ..
