Vintage Tuesday

[Scott Burgess]

Received this antenna from an SK estate sale and have no idea who the manf

or band may be

It has two sets of four fixed radials 17.5” long and the vertical tip is adjustable

I’m thinking maybe 2m?  Someone told me it is an AEA product but I could not find it

Also, looks like it’s been outside for a long period.  Best method for cleaning moderate corrosion on the aluminum

I dug through the dusty neurons for all the older and gone antenna makers with no luck.

 

If it was something from AEA then Georrge, K7HBN, might know. ABC used to sell them and George worked there. It's not an IsoPole which was AEA's big seller but maybe they had something in the commercial world.

 

Geez I'm dating myself with this. Next I'll be talking about Georgetown Radio and Dick, W7PV.

 

73 and good luck! Gary K7FR

I think it's a Hy-Gain model # V-2R. I have one that I picked up at an Estate Sale some years ago, and have yet to try it out.

 

Here's a link to a picture:    https://www.manualslib.com/manual/2608972/Hy-Gain-V-2r.html

Scott - I see there's a better version of the Hy-Gain V-2R Instruction manual on the DX Engineering Web Site on the Documentation tab:

 

     https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/HGN-V2R

 

 

I just found out that Hy-Gain also made 6-Meter versions (model # V-6R), 220-MHz versions (V-3R) and a UHF 440-MHz version (V-4R) of these collinear antennas. There's a model number and specifications chart on the MFJ site:   https://mfjenterprises.com/products/v-6r#description

 

Model # V-4R - UHF version picture: https://www.ebay.com/itm/114114917799

 

Model # V-6R - DX Engineering has the 6-Meter V-6R manual on-line.

 

There's a fairly extensive article on the Repeater-Builder web site about improving the 6-Meter V-6R antenna. Maybe some of the info may be applicable to your 2-Meter version rebuild project.

73,

Hi Larry that’s exactly what it is. Thx. Very broad banded. I think I’ll tune it to the MURS band for fun and it’s way too interesting looking not to use. 3dBd gain. 73. Scott W7IMC
