Slim Jim Antenna 2 Meter 70Cm VHF/UHF New Dual Band K5BJM  Base or

    VHF / UHF DUAL BAND ANTENNA ( NEW ). Condition is New. This is a New K5BJM 2 Meter and 70cm antenna. Covers all of 2 meter band under 1.4 to 1 SWR center frequency at 1 to 1 or less. I have sold thousands of these on eBay.

Also covers the 70cm band 440.00- 450.00 Please know that this antenna is designed for 2 meters. The operation of it on the 70cm band is on a harmonic of the 2 meter band. The SWR on 70cm will be higher than on the 2 meter band. This is a Vertically polarized unidirectional antenna, rated to handle 300 watts. The antenna is about 62 inches long and has about a 7 foot coax lead to connect to your Radio. It has a coax choke at the bottom to ensure the Antenna radiates and not the coax. I manufacture these myself. I have sold thousands of these and have not had anyone unhappy with it. I build these out of HD Copper Clad Steel Ladder Line. I use Heavy Duty RG8X direct bury UV Resistant coax,(NOT THE CHEAPER RG 58 that others use ). I use the new PL 259 male Crimp/Soldier connection ( that is considered the best) then sealed with shrink tubing. The entire antenna is Sealed for permanent exterior use. This antenna will connect directly to your radio with a male PL259 connection. There are other manufacturers of this antenna that are cheaper, because they use cheaper coax, lesser quality parts. If you want the best antenna you can buy, that will last a lifetime, this is it. This antenna will outperform ANY J-Pole antenna by 1 to 2 s units on receive and transmit. It offers up to 6 Db of gain. The secret of its outstanding performance is its take-off angle of only 4 degrees (the lowest of any other antenna). The lower the take off angle the better. J- Poles have a take-off angle of 25 - 35 degrees. This is why the Slim Jim outperforms other types of Antennas. It can be used inside home or RV or outside permanently or portable. It fits in a Quart size bag easily and can be even rolled up smaller to fit in a pocket. Hanging in a tree at 20 feet I hit repeaters 50+ miles away, your results may vary depending on your terrain. Twisting of the antenna when hung has no effect on radiation pattern. I tune each of these antennas 1 at a time so you always get the lowest SWR possible, normally 1.0 to 1, at center Frequency on 2 meters ! Hang antenna from the hole at top with string or rope, not wire, it must have at least 2 feet clearance on all sides, and of coarse  the higher you hang it the better it will perform. I take pride in my work. I guarantee your satisfaction with this antenna or I will refund your money. You will not be disappointed with this antenna !
