Is there anyway to operate this antenna on the 10-12 meters without having to clip the antenna? Is that what antenna tuners are for?

The A-99 is a good antenna and well worth its price. You can adjust the SWR so it will work 10 and 12 meters, or you can also use a antenna tuner to operate 15 and 17 meters. It really has problems on 20 meters the antenna is too short, it will receive well on 20 meters though. Remember that this antenna is designed for use on CB. But it can be used on other bands using a antenna tuner.

Sorry, I don't believe you can get that type of range from this unit without a significant antenna mod .. and in which case you may run into issues with the FCC if you are operating in the US.

I have a radio set up on my desk in an apartment with the antenna sitting on top of the radio. Without the tuner, my SWR reading was through the roof. When I added the meter, I was able to bring the SWR reading to 1. I was told by the local Radio Doctor that even though the reading was low my antenna was still off and I shouldn't use it that way but since I only use it for listening, I feel the tuner accomplished what I needed it to do. If I want to talk, I go outside and use my mobile radio.

Aloha, I don't know the equipment you have mentioned in your question ( 460101 DT 4G / booster ) but this yagi ,or directional pointer/ antenna? It was our saving grace when the booster we had purchased just wasn't enough. Get it as high as you can, point it at the nearest Tower and it will increase your range of reception. Hope this is helpful for you. Kaboonshi

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but I am wondering the same thing - did you ever find an antenna that works? Thanks!

Hi afhmiami,My straight answer to you is "I do not know", since I have not tested the off the air antenna before with SWM16.The use of AM-21 of the air tuner seems plausible. I hope this helps.Nick.

It is not a question of fit or power the antenna will provide an adequate standing wave ratio over the 10 to 11 meter bands. This is not the proper antenna for transmission on the other frequencies you refer to in your question.

the antenna is used to pick-up RF signals from the X-10 remotes [unit codes]it does not work very well [I do not use it]it will not work with any other signals hope this answers your ?

Tom, I believe it can be connected to an external antenna. I looked at one at "The GPS Store" and on Amazon, I think, but I communicated with a friend on a ship about 20 miles away this morning and it was like he was standing next to me...although his radio was an Icom with an antenna about 70 feet in the air. I was standing in my kitchen. So, to make a short story long, I think there is an external antenna that will fit on the handheld.

It comes with a little antenna that even has a clip for your laptop screen or a flat monitor. Works okay. I wound up ditching cable and putting an antenna in my attic, but I tested this USB tuner for a while using just the included antenna and so long as you don't mind repositioning it occasionally when you change channels it works fine.

There is an antenna on the radio. So im knot sure how you would hook up a different one

Yes it will need a long clip on antenna for Short Wave. I use a 3 foot long clip onwire and move the radio around until you can hear the broadcast clearer. Typicalfor Short Wave. Keep the radio away from noise makers.

As you can see the antenna is a telescoping rod. I took it to a town 10 miles north of the station and had trouble pulling in my HD channel. So it's not so hot when it comes to sensitivity. (Selectivity is marvelous, since it's "all or nothing" with HD radio.)

you can use any ham antenna you like...I have an Antron 10/11M antenna I bought from Radio shack. it works great for 10M

Do yourself a big favor and visit the newertech website, and contact them. The thing worked great up until I upgraded to 10.9.5 and it was that very moment I needed a patch for the antenna to work. They sent a patch to me via email. They may have all patches on their site now. Either way, it's best to contact them before buying.

No, you can't fine tune ANY antenna without an SWR meter. And a high SWR will fry your radios final transistor, so buy a meter! It's something every CB'er needs, and they aren't very expensive. firestik.com/Tech_Docs/Setting_SWR.htm

I can tune this antenna from 10 to 20 meters and have done well DX'ing. You really need a good ground to work good DX. Put a rod into the ground and connect it to the mounting plate. That will help. There is also a radial attachment you can add on. Good luck. It is a GREAT antenna!.
