For Rx I heartily suggest the HI-Z units as I have the 3 element version and it works wonderfully. I'd like to upgrade to a 8 element but the 3 element is not upgradable. Small footprint, easy assy and I find it works great as a separate or diversity antenna for up to 10M. It is an excellent antenna for a Dxpedetion as it's very effective, directional and quick to assemble/take down.
