This product is made to order by Spectrum Communications. It is not ready built waiting for dispatch.

The Spectrum Communications Light Duty Long wire Aerial is ideal for short wave listeners who can route the 10 metre (32 feet 9") aerial wire into and around a loft space or through a small hole in a wall or window frame to be strung outside to a tree or outbuilding or support pole as a temporary installation.  The aerial wire is supplied on a fishing line winder so is ideal to take out for portable operation or on holiday where it can be attached to an elevated support. 

The aerial wire is brought together with a 1.8 metre long earth wire and terminated into a short piece of coax and then a connector to suit an SDR dongle (not the BNC shown in the picture).  The earth cable is fitted with a large crock clip to be connected to a convenient earth such as a central heating radiator.  If such radiators are not available or are unsuitable then the earth should be connected to a metal part of another domestic appliance that uses 3-core mains cable.

The full wire length will pick up quite high levels of signals from 100kHz to 30MHz. 

THE LONG WIRE AERIAL FOR SDR DONGLE IS USUALLY SUPPLIED WITH SMA SCREW-ON PLUG.  IT CAN BE SUPPLIED WITH PUSH-ON MCX PLUG IF YOU REQUEST IT.
