Ed Fong DBJ-1H HAM Amateur Base Station Antenna

Increase your VHF/UHF performance with this lightweight, high-performance base station antenna kit. Specifically tuned for HAM Amateur Radio use, with 6dB gain at 144-148MHz and 440-450MHz over a stock handheld antenna, make this a must-have accessory for your handheld, mobile or base two-way radio station.

Has a nearly 5′ radiating element and a SO-239 female connector built-in, and comes with everything you need except a single 5′ length of 3/4″ Class 200 PVC pipe, which typically costs less than three dollars (available at most hardware stores – see common part numbers in specifications below), and a run of low-loss coax to your radio. The antenna comes in a small pouch and easily extends and inserts into your PVC pipe, includes both PVC end-caps, does not require any PVC cement or any tools, and is rated to 75 watts max (for use with mobile and base rigs). This is a 50 Ohm balanced antenna with true 1/2 wave radiating elements on BOTH bands, and does not require any ground radials.

Works with the TERA TR-500/505/590, Wouxun KG-UV9D (Plus), KG-UV3D, KG-UV6X, KG-UV3X, AnyTone AT-D868UV & all other two-way radios with an external antenna connector.

Designed and patented by Dr. Ed Fong WB6IQN for permanent use on 2 meter and 70 centimeter amateur bands, the DBJ-1H offers greatly improved receive and transmit, when installed properly (as high as possible and in a free space, but will work in attics also), to get the most out of your two-way radio for recreational or emergency SHTF prepper communications. With its lightweight configuration and lifetime manufacturer’s warranty, this proven performer will last many years under normal and even most extreme weather conditions. Works great as a VHF/UHF Ham, Amateur scanner antenna also!

Can be erected with a standard wall mount, eve mount, mast-to-mast mount, chimney mount, or creative PVC mount (using no more than the first 10″ of the antenna base), making deployment simple and flexible. This antenna performs really well due to the balanced 1/2 wave design, even with only .5 Watts on the Ham bands.
