This is a 3d printed adjustable SWR GMRS/Ham/business band/VHF/UHF j-pole antenna kit for 1/2” diameter electrical conduit pipe or 1/2” diameter copper pipe, You select pipe type when checking out!!!
YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE ANTENNA FOR THIS KIT!!!!
Here is the online calculator so you can find out what length of pipe you need for the freq you want to use! Make sure you look at the J-POLE and NOT SLIM JIM!! Click here j-pole-calculator
NOTE: plastic is for outside, however I highly recommend spraying it with a clear coat for plastic that has UV resistance in it!!
Here is a link to that type of clear coat spray paint NOTE it don’t say on the website that it’s UV resistance, but it does say that on the can!!
Click here Clear coat spray paint
It can be painted ANY color to blend into the environment, just make sure the spray paint is for PLASTIC AND HAS UV RESISTANCE in it!!!
Features:
light weight when fully built, it weights about 15.7oz (when using 1/2” conduit for a GMRS antenna size)
Slidable feeder for adjusting SWR (no cutting of antenna)
can use 1/2” diameter electrical conduit pipe (which is cheaper) OR 1/2” diameter copper pipe
Can be used for HAM or GMRS or business band or any VHF/UHF freq bands
easy to assemble.
Small in overall size (when using GMRS antenna size)
About 2.2dBi gain
No aerial ground rods are need! (making this great for small, tight areas!)
Mounting adapter will slide onto a 3/4” PVC pipe.
What is included in the kit:
(3) end caps for the 1/2” pipe (to keep water out)
(1) j-pole mount adapter for 3/4” PCV pipe.
(1) feeder bar (this slides up and down to adjust SWR)
(1) cap end for feeder bar (to cover the wires from the So-239)
(4) rings that need to be glued to the feeder bar
(1) So-239 connector mount
What you need to buy separately that is NOT included in the kit!!
Superglue to glue the rings onto the feed bar.
1/2” diameter electrical conduit pipe (length depends on type of antenna you are making Ham or GMRS a 10 foot is about $6.00) or 1/2” copper pipe.
(2) hose clamps to fit the 1/2” diameter electrical conduit pipe or copper pipe
Solid gauge wire (I used 14 gauge 12 gauge would work too)
(4) round head machine 6-32 x 1/2” bolts and nuts to mount the s0-239 connector
(1) 16-14 AWG #4-6 ring terminal to mount ground wire to the so-239 (link to Gardner bender part # 20-103)
(1) 5” length of 1/4” diameter thread rod with 4 nuts
a tube of clear silicon to seal it up when done to keep water out
spray can of clear paint for PLASTIC AND HAS UV RESISTANCE in it!!!
1/8” brass tubing (optional) for feed wires to help feeder slide better.
(2) 1 1/2” length 1/4 diameter” bolts with nuts for mounting the adapter to the j-pole and to the 3/4” PVC pipe.
