VHF / UHF DUAL BAND ANTENNA ( NEW ). Condition is New. This is a New K5BJM 2 Meter and 70cm antenna. Covers all of 2 meter band under 1.4 to 1 SWR. Also covers some of the 70cm band 440.00- 450.00 at under 3 to1 SWR . Please know that this antenna is designed for 2 meters. The operation of it on the 70cm band is on a harmonic of the 2 meter band. The SWR on 70cm will be higher than on the 2 meter band. This is a Vertically polarized unidirectional antenna, rated to handle 300 watts. The antenna is about 62 inches long and has about a 7 foot coax lead to connect to your Radio. It has a coax choke to ensure the Antenna radiates and not the coax. I manufacture these myself. I have sold many of these and have not had anyone unhappy with it. I build these out of HD Copper Clad Steel Ladder Line. I use Heavy Duty RG8X direct bury UV Resistant coax,(NOT THE CHEAPER RG 58 ), with the new PL 259 male Crimp/Soldier connection then sealed with shrink tubing, The entire antenna is sealed for permanent exterior use. This antenna will connect directly to your radio with a PL259 connection. There are other antennas that are cheaper, because they use cheaper parts. If you want the best you can buy, then your looking at the right antenna. This antenna will outperform any J-Pole antenna by 1 to 2 s units on receive and transmit. It offers up to 6 Db of gain. The secret of its outstanding performance is its take-off angle of only 4* , this is why it outperforms other Antennas. Can be used inside home or RV or outside permanently or portable. It fits in a Quart size bag easily and can be even rolled up smaller to fit in a pocket. Hanging in a tree at 20 feet I hit repeaters 50+ miles away, your results may vary depending on your terrain. Twisting of the antenna when hung has no effect on radiation pattern. I tune each of these antennas 1 at a time so you always get the lowest SWR possible, normally 1.0 to 1, at center Frequency on 2 meters ! Hang antenna from the hole at top with string or rope, not wire, it must have at least 2 feet clearance on all sides, and of coarse  the higher you hang it the better it will perform. I take pride in my work. I guarantee your satisfaction with this antenna or I will refund your money. You will not be disappointed with this antenna ! CONT US SHIPPING ONLY.
