OK, let me make this more clear... NO. No, they will not transmit on 6 or 10 meters. Not even the 1411.
According to the Tram manual, the 1411 will transmit on the 26 and 27 MHz band (CB), the 46 and 49 MHz bands (old cordless phones and baby monitors band), 72 MHz band (European 4 Meter band, and Russian FM broadcast band), and from 144-1290 MHz. I still think the transmit top end should be 930, as they don't work on the 950-960 MHz broadcast link band... I've tried them there, and they don't work- terrible SWR.
So again, the 1410 is a great scanner antenna that works fairly well as a 2 meter, MURS, 1.25 Meter, 70 CM, GMRS, and 33 CM transmit antenna. With the top element added (1411), it becomes an over-glorified, under-performing CB antenna, but it still WON'T do 6 or 10 meters on transmit.
If you are looking for a dual-band 6 and 10 meter base antenna, there is only 1 that I know of, and that would be the $250 Diamond CP610.
If you are looking for a single antenna to cover all bands from DC to Daylight with perfectly flat SWR, and don't care about gain, then a dummy load is what you are looking for.
Dummy loads do not transmit but this antenna does. But I would recommend a tuner to use as is for 10 meter.

Apparently I'm far enough away it doesn't matter.

How close to an airport can you install a GMRS repeater?

Question about Tram 1410 / 1411 Antenna
in Technical Discussion

Transmits on 2m, 6m and 70cm and if you trim the 11m it transmits well on 10m but you lose 11m unless you use a GOOD antenna tuner I just use the CB portion with a tuner for 11m. Don't listen to the haters. They don't like that you can get a quad band for $80. They want you to spend more money. It is BEST though to have a separate antenna for each band though. Although I highly recommend a dual band antenna for 2m/70cm to split band. I use a TYT TH9800 daily on this antenna. Its why I bought it.
