Amateur Radio, Land Mobile, Scanner, Low Power FM, and Airband Antennas. Simple antennas with superior performance
Welcome and thanks for viewing my site. My name is Michael, KB9VBR, and I carry a full line of VHF and UHF antennas for sale. I specialize in a certain type of antenna called a J-Pole. The J-Pole antenna is a 3/4 wave antenna with a 1/4 wave matching stub. Sounds complicated, but it really isn't.
The great thing about J-Pole antennas is their simple design and excellent performance. My antennas have a low noise floor and a beautiful omnidirectional radiation pattern. They work great for amateur radio, public safety, scanner listening, business band, and GMRS purposes.
Got a question? Great, use my contact form to ask away. I'll be glad to answer them.
