OpekVH-1220 2/6 Meter 1/4, 5/8 Wave Mobile Antenna

One of the best dual-band antennas out there! Where this antenna really shines is its ability to cover both the low and high portions of both bands. I have mine tuned for minimum SWR at the low end - the sideband portion - of both 2 and 6 meters, and yet I can very comfortably operate in the higher portions - the repeater portions - of each band, with very acceptable SWR. The whip has a huge adjustment range, better than some more expensive antennas, which is a tremendous help in tuning it for use across a wide area, and it seems to be ruggedly built; I've been using mine for several years - through rough New England winters - with no problems. I like this antenna enough that I think I'll buy another, just as a backup.

Very thin wire whip above the coil...so it lays way back at high speed, but its flex and design allows it to return to a proper vertical when stationary. Operationaly equivalent to my smaller 144/440 mag mounted whip on 2 meters...but I appreciate that I can use it on 6 meters and it mounts on my ham stick mag mount. Very Sturdy.

I purchased this antenna as a 6 meter 1/4 wave to use on a ball mount on my car. I could not get it to tune. I went out and purchased a whip and spring instead and it tuned up just fine. Don't waste your money on this piece of junk!

I was not that impressed with this antenna the picture is deceiving and I don't believe that it will handle 500 watts like the add says it was easy to tune and it turns out that my friend can buy the same antenna all day long for 12 dollars each don't waste your money on this one

This antenna does awesome on 2 meters. Very impressed on how far out I can reach repeaters.

Works great for me

Rather tall antenna but it's required for 6m operation as any ham would know. VSWR is good and signal reports so far have been very good. The 2m seems stronger then my usual dual band Diamond mobile antenna of course of smaller statue. It's a keeper!
