RadioLabs All Band Discone Antenna

If you want to cover a very large bandwidth and listen to everything from AM broadcast band to well over the microwave spectrum and have very little space, this is the antenna to buy! The RadioLabs Discone antenna is only a unity gain antenna, which is perfect for most situations. If you are in a very fringe area trying to listen to police traffic from 100 + miles away, this antenna is not for you.

But, if you are in a somewhat remote area and you are trying to receive HF through VHF broadcasts and you only have enough room on your roof for one antenna, get this antenna, regardless of the price.

Antennas are actually a very simple concept. Get the correct amount of metal in the air, electronically couple them to the coax and you're receiving. But, getting the correct combination of metal and the right combination of radiator length and spacing is critical.

We have tested numerous antennas on VHF, HF, AM and shortwave and this is the biggest bang for the buck of any antenna we have ever tested.

One night of listening and we were able to receive stations on AM broadcast from Texas, Japan, Alaska and all over the continental United States. We are in California and that's amazing. On shortwave, the coverage is actually better. The noise level is really low and the stations we could hear came booming in.

We don't sell stuff that we don't believe in, and this is the best antenna on the market. If you don't already have an antenna for AM, shortwave or scanner coverage and need to install something once, this is the only thing you need on your roof.

The vertical elements are 58" long. The horizontal elements are 13" long. The gain is unity across most bands. The hardware is stainless steel, including the elements.
