Hello, I am new to Ham radio. My question is what would be the best portable multiband antenna to buy to use with the Icom 705 and the MAT-705Plus 1.8MHz-54MHz Automatic Antenna Tuner. I am interested primarily in 10 and 6 meters but want to be to cover as many bands as possible. Thank you to all who reply.

Well with the tuner, I recommend an end fed half wave. The Chameleon Antennas Hybrid Micro 30ft HF 160-6m Wire Antenna would be perfect and easy to use for portable.

The other would be the Chameleon Antennas EMCOMM II V2 160-6m Wire Antenna

not quite as portable, but slightly less.
These antennas are used by the military.
