Ours worked great for the duration we needed it (pulling double duty for twins) and for the person we gave it to afterwards. The thing saved so much time and frustration.

We’re talking CB, where whips are almost exclusively used. It’s important to note context. When it comes to whips, 5/8λ works, but 1 λ does not.
If we were talking a service where dipoles were relevant, I wouldn’t have mentioned it.

Full wave whips don't work, though... so you wouldn't see one here. You'd have to go dipole or loop, neither of which makes sense in a mobile application.

There’s plenty of defense industry globally. Most sovereign states prefer local defense goods.

It’s only perceived as “overkill” and “unnecessary” until you need the USA’s help. Then you’re glad that the US spends money on defense so her friends don’t have to.

I definitely concur with the cleaning, but the overall time savings was there. What kind of formula were you using? I imagine different powders result in different consistency. The Similac Pro-Advance did well by us, where what I put in the hopper resulted in the expected output over time.
