The antenna is listed as 155-465 MHz.So my question is, has anyone modified this
antenna for the ham bands? I'm looking for anyone with experience with this
antenna before I try myself to modify it.
Hi Tom,
Run an analyzer sweep on it to see what it looks like on the ham bands.
If you don't have an analyzer, borrow one. :) For testing, rig it
vertically at least 3-4 ft above ground and away from anything
conductive. My educated guess is that SWR will be fairly high and gain
will be lower than the spec.
Here's the poop sheet.
