UH-6V MULTI-BAND MOBILE ANTENNA

HF/VHF/UHF
The Comet UHV-6 is
Comet's latest model HF - UHF mobile antenna. Without the HF coils attached, the UHV-6 is
a tribander for 6M/2M/70cm. The top of the element has a threaded socket for attaching
either the 40M, 15M or 10M coil that comes with it making the UHV-6 a quad-band antenna!
Want more HF bands?? Simply add an additional 1 or 2 HF coils horizontally using the
threaded sockets in the ring around the top of the element! Purchase the optional elements
for 80 meters (L-3.5), 20 meters (L-14) or 17 meters (L-18) as shown below. Each HF coil
tunes independently to the part of the band you want to operate.
Unlike the screwdriver antennas that are expensive and difficult to mount, the UHV-6 is
easy. If you have an existing antenna on your vehicle that has a sturdy mount with an
SO-239 connector, simply take it off and put the UHV-6 on! You are on the air! AND, the
UHV-6 is a ½ wave on 2M: 2.15dBi gain over a ¼ wave and it's 2 5/8 waves in phase on
70cm: 5.5dBi gain.
The fold-over hinge on
the UHV-6 is a strong hinge protected by a threaded collar. Unscrew the collar and lift it
up to expose the hinge, very convenient when entering garages, parking structures,
drive-thru's, etc.
NB: THIS ANTENNA REQUIRES AN "SO-239 STYLE MOUNT"
