The Comet UHV-6 is Comet's 3rd generation HF - UHF mobile antenna and it's the best! 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 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). Each HF coil tunes independently to the part of the band you want to operate.
2:1 VSWR bandwidth is approximately:
40M 23 kHz
20M 55 kHz
17M 75 kHz
15M 100 kHz
10M 400 kHz
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're on the air! PLUS 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.
