Description

Our active antenna provides an amplified receive antenna giving performance equivalent to a much longer wire

antenna.

It is useful for Ham, shortwave, AM broadcast, and low frequency (lowfer) reception.

It can also be used as a local sense antenna in a noise canceling diversity reception system.

Useful frequency range of approximately 100KHz to over 200Mhz.

Onboard 9V battery supply.

Push button power switch and LED power indicator.

Includes a 38 inch (96 cm) telescoping antenna.

Board Size 2.5 x 3.5 Inches (64 x 89mm)
