A multipurpose dipole antenna kit. Great for getting started with SDR and a multitude of other applications.
Includes:
- 1x dipole antenna base with 60cm RG174 cable and SMA Male connector. This
is the dipole base where the telescopic antennas connect to. The short
run of RG174 is decoupled from the base elements with a ferrite choke.
This helps to prevent the feed line from interfering with the dipole
radiation pattern. The dipole has a 1/4 inch female screw on the
bottom, which allows you to use standard camera mount products for
mounting.
- 1x 3 meter RG174 coax cable extension.
This coax cable extension allows you to mount the antennas in a place
that gets better reception, e.g. outside on a window, or higher up.
- 2x 23cm to 1 m telescopic antennas.
The telescopic dipoles are detachable from the dipole base via an M5
thread which allows for greater portability and the ability to swap them
out. These long telescopic antennas cover VHF to UHF.
- 2x 5cm to 13cm telescopic antennas. These smaller antennas cover UHF to 1090 MHz ADS-B, and even work up to L-band 1.5 GHz frequencies.
- 1x flexible tripod mount with 1/4" male screw. This
piece allows you to mount the dipole on a variety of different
locations, e.g. a pole, tree branch, desk, door or window sill. The legs
of the tripod are bendy and rubberized so can wrap securely around many
objects.
- 1x suction cup mount with 1/4" male screw. With
this mount you can mount the dipole on the outside of a window, on a
wall, car roof/window, or on any other smooth surface. For best results first
clean the surface with window cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
