Bob Marts Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Is there a difference in the reception effectiveness of the various shark-fin (Log Periodic) antennas available on the market? Or is the difference only in quality and workmanship (and price)? Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason porter Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I think you can get sharkfins with wider or more narrow freq ranges, depending on your needs. -JP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudRaymond Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Shark-fin antennas are log-periodic assemblies, usually covering 450-850 MHZ. The specific frequency you are using within a given block has a specific wavelength and therefore a specific antenna tuning. Higher frequency, shorter wavelength, shorter end of shark-fin. I don't know of any frequency specific log-periodic antennas, because that would be a whip essentially. In my experience, the Sennheiser or PSC shark-fins are preferable because they are made of metal. The Lectrosonics ALP500 is also useful because of the built-in RF amplifier, but it is made of circuitboard. Bud Raymond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
