Antenna Question For Handhelds
Hello,
Enjoy sw listening, but frankly not all that sharp re antennas. Over the past few months, I have seen several ads for those handheld sw receivers and transceivers. From different mfgs. About the size of the typical hand-held scanner receiver. They all seem to cover up to at least 30 MHz, and most beyond. Got to thinking about this a bit. What do they use for an antenna for 30 MHz and below ? I have a long end fed antenna for my listening. Obviously they have a shosrt "something". How effective is a short "something" around 5 to 10 MHz, e.g. ? How can it work down there at all ? Or, do they expect you to hook up something "decent" to it, even though it is supposed to be portable, and is very small ? Any technical explanation on this would be mosgt appreciated. Thanks, Bob |
