Product Description
ORDINARY HAND HELD OR 2 METER HAM RADIOS HAVE LIMITED TRANSMIT AND RECEIVING CAPABILITIES
The Survival Antenna will Turn a Portable Ham Device Into a Survival Tool
This easy to use communication extender will allow you to get help in an emergency while hunting, camping, hiking or backpacking.
SIMPLE AND EASY TO USE
This product requires no tools, only a knife or similar object tied to the 550 nylon cord to get the coax up a tree.
MADE IN THE USA USING PREMIUM QUALITY PRODUCTS
Each product is made from premium RG-58 coax, 300-ohm ladder line twin lead, mil-spec 550 cord, brass adapter connectors and stainless steel couplers. Each unit is individually tested with an analyzer, custom tuned then field tested. All connections are water sealed. SWR is set as low as possible for the frequency.
PRODUCT COMES READY TO USE
The Survival Antenna comes in a 6 mil plastic zip lock bag and instructions that include the tuned frequency of the product.
DURABLE WEATHER RESISTANT COMPACT PORTABLE BACKPACKABLE
Simply pick the right adapter at the top of the page when ordering. 2-meter vehicle radios do not need a specific adapter. All thread sizes are US standard. Connectors are SMA male, SMA female and SMA BNC.
TESTED AND USED IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS
- Terrain has a huge impact on ham radio signal. This custom antenna has been tested in the rugged mountains of Montana and has been successful in communicating up to and over 50 miles. The manufacturer makes no guarantee of signal range in your area. Distance can be related to other factors such as radio, battery strength and man-made or natural barriers.
Make this antenna your game changer. Don't leave home without it!

On the insert is the measured SWR and frequency it is tuned to, 146.021 and an SWR of 1,02
My tests came up with almost the exact same numbers.
The RT radio with a High gain Rubber ducky and even a Comet SMA " high gain " VHF UHF antenna could not reach even the closest repeaters without issues.
Today we are reaching the majority of the local repeaters, some as far as 30 miles away!! not bad at all.
This is a quality product, well conceived and produced.
A few issues, it would help to get or use an SMA adapter that would prevent the "twisting" that occurs when trying to mount the small SMA male/ PL259 adapter cable.
Also, the definition of a " tall tree" in Texas differs drastically from a " tall tree" in the Pacific North West ;)
I use a nice length of bamboo that is about 18ft that works perfectly.
For all of those looking for a great and easy solution to getting on the air, try this one you will not be disappointed.
Also, the length of the throw line is far too short to be useful.
Before buying it I read the reviews and one guy (Elmer), said it was cheap. I wonder if he even tried it? Anyway I can hit a repeater about 20 miles away which I never could with a regular antenna. I am sad at the moment though. I bragged about it to a fellow operator and he is still using it, guess I'll just buy another one.
Customer service is great. Seller is courteous, communicative and stands behind their product.
All around very happy with this purchase.
SWR readings on 146 Mhz at 1.05, 446 mhz 1.08.
With this strung up I have little issue contacting a repeater 48mi away (remember, that is straight as crow flies) on 4.5w VHF.
Simply put I cannot recommend this enough. Excellent product. Thank you for actually taking pride in your work and producing such an excellent product.
