Antennas-Amplifiers Product Benefits. A Major advance in Amateur Radio antenna design.
- F/B and G/T superiority.
All antennas have been calculated using state-of-the-art full 3D Electromagnetic Simulation Software including the influence of the boom, bracket, baluns, and connectors. The performance of antennas designed using these techniques is exceptional, far better than antennas designed using “wire” programs.
- No tuning antennas
Before dispatch, we assemble each antenna and test antenna characteristics. That means you may expect exceptionally good electrical and mechanical performance including low SWR across the designed range immediately after assembling.
No need to tune the dipole, or any other element to get perfect SWR on the intended frequency range. Everything is pre-tuned.
- Easy to set up
Everything is labeled, just put number to number. The antenna can be assembled with hand tools in a couple of minutes.
Everything is included in the antenna box: Antenna, balun with connector, and bracket. Yours is just to assemble and have fun!
The old name of the antenna was PA144-432-8-09RAV

Marko –
I already have 2 antennas from Antennas Amplifiers company and they all work perfectly out of the box. This antenna is no exception. I bought it mostly for portable operations because it is only around 3ft long and could be carried with ease.
This antenna is universal. Great for local repeaters and simplex. Very portable for mobile operations. Light enough to be rotated with a cheap TV rotator and has very good gain for its size, small to go undetectable for neighbors.
Construction is rugged…..
