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.
