Antenna setup question

[Matstadon]

Would a passive antenna setup, something like the betso bow ties work well in a big with lectro DSR4 and a SRc if you’re using multiple blocks?

From my experience using multiple SRC/SRb blocks in the past and currently the DSR4 A1/B1, yes... the passive Betso Bow Ties seem to perform better than whips. It may be that by mounting the Betso on the front corners of the bag, allowing for greater antenna separation and a higher mounting point than the whips, is part of the improvement.

 

 

Cheers,

Thanks so much. This is what I’m starting to find as I do more research.

Yes. The Bow tie is pretty wideband. 400-700 I think?

My bowtie's have worked well with my SRC's... blocks 19, 21 and wideband Lectro LR. They really shine when you need to get an antenna up above a group of people, to establish a clean trajectory between TX/RX. Quick to deploy and attach to anything, so long as you have long enough 50ohm BNC's. I carry a pair of 10 footers with me everywhere, which work 90% of the time.
