LW-216 whip for Comtek M-216

Recommended Posts

I recently bought a Comtek M-216 transmitter (not option 7 version) and it didn't come with a LW-216 1/4 whip antenna. I naively thought it would be easy enough to pick one up online...but think again. It is exceptionally hard to track one down. The Comtek distributor here in Montreal, Studio Economik, can put it on order but they only do orders for Comtek stuff when they need a few things so it could be weeks before they even put in the order. Trew in Toronto same deal plus the extra postage and wait time for it to bunny hop through Toronto before it gets to me. Sadly Remote Audio do not make an antenna with the 2.5mm jack. Nothing on ebay. Exasperated I think I'll try to make one myself. Anyone have an idea where to get the the 2.5mm locking jack connector? What wire would be suitable for the antenna and where would one buy such a thing? What do I have... a soldering station, and time on my hands. Any help from those of you who know your wireless tech would be great!

 

Alternatively if anyone else here makes them, let me know.
