The Mini-ANT shortwave antenna is designed for use with a range of compact QRP transceivers, including the Yaesu FT-817, ICOM 703, K1, K2, USDX, and MCHF. Its standard M male and BNC male connector options make it widely compatible with most portable HF radios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: What frequency range does this antenna cover?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The antenna covers 5MHz–55MHz for both transmit and receive operations. It can also receive FM signals from 76MHz to 108MHz, and can receive UHF and VHF frequencies as well, making it a versatile choice for portable operators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: How compact is the antenna when collapsed for travel?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: When fully collapsed, the Mini-ANT measures approximately 30cm (11.8 inches) including the tuner — small enough to fit in a backpack or radio bag. When extended for operation, it reaches 140cm (55.1 inches) for optimal shortwave performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: What does the BA switch do on the tuner?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The BA switch allows you to select between the shortwave high and low band ranges. Combined with the rotary tuning knob, it gives you precise control over your operating frequency across the full 5MHz–55MHz shortwave spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- production-packaging-notice --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduction \u0026amp; Packaging Notice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo maintain high stock availability and fast shipping times, our items are sourced from multiple verified manufacturing facilities.
