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)
- Dual band version – 1/4 wave on 2 meter (144-148Mhz) and 3/4 wave on 70 centimeter (420-450Mhz)
- Power limits:
- Dual band version: 100 Watts max at 50% duty cycle or 50 Watts max at 100% duty cycle
- Length
- Dual band version – Approximately 19″ long
- Single band 220 version – Approximately 12″ long
- Single band 440 version – Approximately 6″ long
- Custom designed 3d printed tip and connector cover providing unprecedented strength
- Made of Nitinol, a very resilient and ridiculously flexible nickel-titanium alloy
- Extremely light-weight — reduces connector strain on your radio!
- Hand-made by hams in Utah
- Lifetime guarantee!
- Nearly indestructible
