DELUXE MODEL ROLL UP 2M/70CM ROLL UP J-POLE/SLIM JIM ANTENNA WITH 10FT COAX

This is my NEWEST deluxe model roll up Slim Jim/J-Pole antenna with 10' of coax! WHOLE ANTENNA IS 3 OUNCES! This deluxe version is the same as my basic version but with 2 differences. 1st, this model comes with 10 feet of rg174 coax instead of 5 and 2nd, I make this new deluxe with a ferrite bead installed at the antenna feed point to eliminate rf feed-back through the coa x. The video shows a coil at the feed point but the bead is the newer version and does the same job just with no coax loss.

PLEASE LOOK AT MY RECENT FEED BACKS TO SEE WHAT PEOPLE THINK!!! Rated for 35W This antenna has a SWR of 1.5 or lower across the 2 meter band and works well on the 70cm band also. Now to be honest I use what I believe to work the best for what this antenna is designed to be all the way around. Small, Portable, Lightweight and VERY VERY effective but RG-174 is a lossy coax by nature and on my basic model antenna at 5 feet of coax there is really no loss to speak of but just 0.5db but on the deluxe model with 10 feet the loss is still only about 1.0db at 145mhz. Trust me when I tell you that The 6db of gain you get with this antenna over a typical 5/8 wave antenna more than makes up for the 1db loss in the coax.

Here is why, A Slim Jim antenna is basically similar to a Jpole design, but it exhibits a lower radiation angle in the range of 8-10 degrees on the horizon, compared to 1/2 wave Jpole which exhibits a 20-30 degree angle on the horizon. Some have suggested these Slim Jim work better than a 5/8 wave antenna. For example: It is estimated that the Slim Jim appears to have about 6dB gain over a 5/8 wave antenna due to the extreme low angle of radiation. You still get to choose between 3 different connectors for your antenna.

They are pictured above with labels: SMA-Female/SMA-Male/BNC-Male. The basic is what I have in my emergency bags.

Just hang the antenna at least 20 inches away from metals with a fishing line or string (non-condutive) and start talking. This video shows the basic model!
