Discone antennas are very broad band biconical-type antennas, which have highly horizontal radiation patterns.  The disc & cone are each comprised of 12 high quality solid aircraft aluminum radials (24 total radials) except for the D-300A model, which has a solid disc and 12 radials.

These make fantastic scanner & base stations antennas.  We have also had a number of customers report their usefulness for tactical applications, where multi-band radios are utilized.  These models are built from high quality aircraft aluminum and offer exceptional transmit & receive performance across their entire rated band.  VSWR is assured to be <2 by design & construction.

We strongly recommend N-Female connectors for our discone antennas, however we do offer UHF-Female as a matter of customer preference.

We rate these models as intermediate duty.  They mount with standard 1-inch threaded support pipe. N-Female is recommended, UHF-Female is offered.

CUSTOM RANGE

We offer custom-built discones based on your frequency requirements.  We have the capability to go as low as 30MHz, and as high as 3000MHz.  Please note there will be an approximate 8:1 match from your lowest frequency for SWR <2 (e.g. 50MHz low range results in a top range of 400MHz.  Higher SWR tolerances will permit a wider operating range.  Please contact us with your requirements.
