Group,
I've got one of the Multi-Band Alpha Delta's up, and have had for about
8+ years.
For my Apache it is fine, it receives DARN good on my R-390A and
SP-600. I've even gotten 6mtr on it with the SP-600. NO "tuner".
I've run my TS-930 SAT, my DX-60 with an Amp Supply LK-500Z, AND my
BC-610 and T-213.
The ONLY problem that has cropped up is the BC-610 & T-213. Neither of
them wants ANYTHING to do with the inductor in the 80/40 element. It is
NOT a trap! I suppose if it was a trap, those old "Beasts" MIGHT work
with it too!
QSOs from here in Virginia to NY, PA, NJ, SC, NC, FL, & MI.

Hi Brett,
I sent this as reply all I guess, my apologies to the net, but since it's started, let's finish it up here in case anyone can add some input to our musings.
Please let me, if not us know your experiances with the A - D Multi Bander. I just had another thought. I tried that antenna on the recomendations of a buddy in Southern Oregon. He said it worked like a charm. A local fellow had the same experiance I had with it. I think it may have something to do with the type of ground it is OVER, along with hight, dipole or V, etc... No expert here, but when I talk to folks that are in much more damp environs than us here in dry central California, they confirm much better S/N ratios and ease of tuning out of resonance wire antennas. Then again I may be all wet (no pun intended).

That is why I might try the alpha delta, its not going to
work great on 160, only fair on 80, but it should
be able to be made resonant enough to allow a tuner or no tuner
operation. At least, that is what THEY say...
