Reviewing the Super Elastic Signal Stick Antenna by SignalStuff
Features:
- Frequency range:
- Dual band version – 1/4 wave on 2 meter (144-148Mhz) and 3/4 wave on 70 centimeter (420-450Mhz)
- SWR has been measured as low as:
- 1.3:1 @ 146Mhz
- 1.5:1 @ 440Mhz
- This SWR chart was taken using a balun to isolate the antenna and a ~18″ tiger tail to stabilize the SWR. Take it with a grain of salt, but it’s fairly accurate as far as it goes.
- SWR has been measured as low as:
- Single band 220 version – 1/4 wave on 1.25 meter (222-225Mhz)
- Single band 440 version – 1/4 wave on 70 centimeter (centered at approximately 440Mhz)
