Radioddity Baofeng UV-5RX3 Tri-Band Handheld Radio

VHF/UHF Antennas for Amateur Radio, Public Safety, Business band, Scanning, and Broadcast

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 1/2 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.
