Are you looking for a truly portable antenna with BIG performance for the MURS band?
This deluxe version model comes with 10 feet of rg174 coax to keep the antennas footprint very small and portable while still offering a full sized antenna for the performance. I make this deluxe with a
ferrite bead installed at the antenna
feed point to eliminate rf feed-back through the coa
x
as you can see in the picture. This version with 10 feet of coax is still up to ten times smaller in size and weight than any others on ebay for sale and at the same time my antennas are physically the same length and rated for up to 60 Watts!
PLEASE LOOK AT MY RECENT FEED BACKS TO SEE WHAT PEOPLE THINK!!!
Rated for 35W
This antenna has a SWR of 1.5 or lower for the entire MURS band and is usually 1.0:1 at 152MHz!
Now to be honest I use what I believe to work the best for what this antenna is designed to be all the way around. Small,Portable,Lightweight and VERY VERY effective but RG-174 is a lossy coax by nature so by using a 10 foot length we only introduce about 1dB of coax loss. Trust me when I tell you that The 6db of gain you get with this antenna over a typical 5/8 wave antenna more than makes up for the 1db loss in the coax.
Here is why,
A Slim Jim antenna is basically similar to a Jpole design, but it exhibits a lower radiation angle in the range of 8-10 degrees on the horizon, compared to 1/2 wave Jpole which exhibits a 20-30 degree angle on the horizon. (ie. more gain)
Some have suggested these Slim Jim work better than a 5/8 wave antenna.
For example:
"
It is estimated that the Slim Jim appears to have about 6dB gain over a 5/8 wave antenna due to the extreme low angle of radiation."
AFTER YOU PURCHASE!!!
After purchase please understand that I will ship the antenna within 1 day (sometimes hours)with the default SMA-Female connector unless you
either leave a note in the paypal transaction or send me a message through
eBay messaging!!!! NOT email, right
after purchase.
You still get to choose 1 between 3 different connectors for your antenna to fit your radio. They are pictured above with labels: SMA-Female/SMA-Male/BNC-Male.
Just hang the antenna at least 36 inches away from all obstructions with a fishing line or string (non-condutive) and start talking.
