Introduction

You’ve just crested the hill...the view is amazing. Time to stop, take a drink, and check out the bands. Your radio deploys quickly, but what about your antenna?
This is where our AX1 whip really shines: getting you on the air in seconds, from anywhere. Use it HT-style with a hand-held rig; on a picnic table with an AXB1 whip bipod; or with a camera tripod and an AXT1 tripod adapter.

Using the AX1 with an ATU eliminates tedious length adjustments. Just select a band, tap the antenna tune switch, and go for it. The AX1 is resonant on 20 meters in one switch position, while the other is designed for efficient 17 and 15-meter matching using an ATU.

Whether you use the AX1 as a ‘stealth’ field antenna, for pedestrian mobile, or as a versatile backup, it’ll be ready when you are.

Those traveling light will appreciate the AX1's ultra-portability: It's the only telescoping whip that disassembles into two 6" (15 cm) pieces. (Three 6" pieces if you include the AXE1 40 m extender.) This allows the whip to fit comfortably in a pocket or in our smallest padded travel case, the CS-40.

The AX1 is the perfect antenna for your KX2 or KX3. Both rigs have optional built-in ATUs that can tune the AX1 on 20, 17, and 15 meters. The settings are stored per band for instant recall.
