Yes. I've owned and used one. They can be amazingly effective. I
still have an AEA ISOLOOP - a forerunner. The 1786 is surprisingly well
made. The tuner with the built-in SWR/Power meter is very handy. They
are *VERY* narrow banded - especially on 40. QSY a few KHz and you will
need to retune. After a while your ear gets good at picking out the
rise in the noise level as you approach resonance. When I was
restricted as you are, I had many, many solid, enjoyable QSO's with a
100 watts. Just be careful that there is nothing metal near by - and
most of all be sure no one touches it while you transmit. The rf burn
one can get from contact are deep and extremely painful.

Does anyone have any experience using a MFJ-1786 with a K3? I live in a 2nd
floor condo in a 5 story brick building. Considering a magnetic loop on my
balcony to get back up on HF.
