Description of πŸ“Ά No-Tune End-Fed Half Wave Antenna Assembly - Portable

The single-band 80m-10m end-feed half-wave linear antenna provides the antenna. It is designed as a highly portable wired antenna that can be easily set as an inverted V-shaped, horizontal, tilted, or vertical radiator (at higher frequencies). Your feeder is inherently balanced, so no separate feeder is required. The high-impedance half-wave line is matched to your 50-ohm feed point through an integrated impedance-matching toroidal transformer with a rated power of 10 watts. Use a high-voltage capacitor on the primary of the transformer with a specific radiator length to further expand and reduce the SWR within the range of 80m-10m. It is designed to be used without the use of a tuner, and after optimizing the driven element, SWR ≀ 1.2 for any part of the frequency band. Package Included: 1 x Portable No Tune End Fed Half Wave Antenna.

Highly recommended for radio antennas

Very easy to set up. It has already been assembled. All I had to do was wire. Make contacts in 30 minutes. I can't wait to get it out in the field. The best $20 I've spent on a hobby.

Pros
  • AV Accessories
Cons
  • Not all will fit

Good performance, quality finish

I only tested it at 20 meters but I managed to get a good match with the half wave cable. I used it recently during a POTA activation and managed to make a few contacts despite my antenna costing less than 20 commissions. It's well built and a handy little lightweight device for adjusting portable antennas. You can buy this directly from the QRP Guys as a kit for a higher price, so buying a pre-assembled version seems like "a no-brainer".

Pros
  • Antennas
Cons
  • Operating speed

Pros
  • . Use a high voltage capacitor on the primary of the transformer with a specific heatsink length to further increase and decrease the SWR in the 80-10m range.
Cons
  • Expensive
