This sale is for an active (amplified) receive HF ferrite antenna for your handheld wideband radio receiver covering the frequencies from 500 KHz – 2.5 MHz. We also offer two other antennas to cover the HF frequency spectrum and these can be found in our Ebay store. The handheld radio shown in the picture above is used for demonstration only and is NOT included with the antenna. We also want to mention that the antenna housing may vary with either black or white depending upon what is supplied to us from the maker. If you have a handheld wideband radio receiver, you will typically notice that the unit will work well on the upper bands (30 MHz and upward) in the FM, VHF, and UHF frequencies. However, while most handhelds can receive the medium wave and shortwave frequencies, reception is less than optimum and can be outright very poor when using the supplied manufacturer antenna. If you are like us, you have replaced the original Rubber Duck or telescopic whip antenna with other variations trying to improve HF performance in the MW and SW bands. We have even traveled with more than one antenna to swap in for such purposes. However, despite this, you will find reception to be suboptimal or even very poor. This active ferrite antenna was designed to offer an alternative for MW & lower HF reception from 500 KHz – 2.5 MHz to enable you to grab those signals from your favorite mediumwave stations or from the amateur 160 meter band. Reception with this antenna is much better and you can typically copy many more signals that would otherwise be unavailable using the antenna supplied by the radio’s manufacturer. During our testing, we discovered a large difference between the stock antenna and what this active ferrite antenna could deliver. Receive signals were stronger, and signals missed with standard antennas, were heard and copyable. The antenna uses a BNC connector that is common on handheld scanning radios. If your handheld does not have a BNC connector, you may be required to purchase a SMA to BNC adapter to use this antenna and such an adapter is available elsewhere here on Ebay. The active ferrite uses a 23A alkaline battery which will provide approximately 65 hours of operation and which is supplied with the antenna. Extra batteries are available from our Ebay store or elsewhere here on Ebay. To operate the antenna, you press the button on the top to power it on. An LED illuminates to indicate the power status and then you merely turn the knob to peak the signal. Please note that this is a “RECEIVE ONLY” antenna and cannot be used with a handheld unit that transmits a signal. You will be required to retain your original receive antenna for use on the higher bands such as 2.5-30.0 MHz HF plus FM / VHF / UHF. Here is a list of features for this active antenna:Frequency range 500 KHz – 2.5 MHzVery high gain & very high sensitivitySharp tuning also acts as front end filterLow noise 200mm ferriteLow power consumption draws ONLY 0.7 mA Operates 65 hours before battery replacementOn / Off switchLED power indicatorBNC connectorLow noise circuit includes FM broadcast rejection (great performance in high signal areas such as cities)SMD designDirectional to peak and null signalsBecause this is an active antenna, it is subject to much RF noise found in the household such as lighting, computers, TV’s etc. While it can be used in many households, we have found it works much better outside for that daily stroll, walking the dog, trip to the park, or hike in the mountains. During testing, we noticed a nice signal improvement and the meter on the handheld displayed a stronger signal than any other factory we attempted to use. Your results may vary depending upon the brand and model of handheld and what antenna you had previously utilized.
