I used to have a Midland 2000, which apparently also had a bad reputation. I used it quite a bit, and once set up was fine. I had a DV27 copy on the roof of my Bedford CF van( good ground plane) and the home set up was some kind of loaded aerial as far as I can remember.
At that time I lived in Olveston, South Glos, and would regularly talk to breakers in Lydney , Chepstow, Filton and Patchway. Speech was reasonably clear as I recall.

I was into historical re-enactment at the time, so my “ handle” was Warlord. 🙄
