## Description

desertcart.com: RTL-SDR Blog Multipurpose Dipole Antenna Kit : Electronics

Review: A good place to start for beginners - A good starter setup if you’re just getting into playing with radios and SDR. Overall, built well enough, nothing too brittle or easy to break. I’m not a huge fan of the stand itself, but I typically use the suction mount. You’ll eventually want to upgrade, but it’s a decent all around dipole antenna.
Review: Inescapable utility at a low price - I won't beat around the bush: this is not a long-lasting product. The antenna tubes get loose, the legs on the flexible tripod break, the suction cup loses its grip, the arm holders on the dipole base get floppy - all of it. But after getting my first one with my first RTL-SDR, getting annoyed with its cheapness, and spending a few years trying to find something better, I'm back again to buy three more of these things. Ultimately, I think their short lifespan is just an acceptable drawback when compared to how much else they have going for them. If you want a sturdy antenna, you're going to be paying quite a bit more, and if you want an adjustable, lightweight antenna than can be adapted to as many different frequencies as this and easily carried around in a backpack and deployed literally anywhere, well.... I'm not sure there's any other game in town, at any price. If you're getting started with SDR stuff and don't have a particular band of interest yet, this is your antenna. There's not much more to say. There's not really anything else that will be as flexible or easy to use as this, and while its fragility is a pain, it will at least give you some time to figure out what you want in a more substantial antenna. Happy DXing! (P.S. - you might have some luck using an RG-58 crimping tool to make the attachment points between the antenna tubes and their threaded bases a bit tighter. It works better with some tools than others, and you have to make sure to pull the smaller tubes out first so they don't get caught in the crimp, but it can help a lot.)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can it be used to monitor Project 25 Phase I?**
A: Hello, this is onlu an antenna kit, and it does not not include a radio. The antenna set could be used to receive P25, but you will need an appropriate radio such as an RTL-SDR to connect the antenna set to.

**Q: Seller: why are these $11.95 on your site with a button that says Buy at Amazon, but when I click it, it is $14.95 ?**
A: Sorry the pricing on Amazon is a bit higher for some products because of their higher seller fees.

**Q: Can I hook this antenna straight to a radio?**
A: Not a TX radio, the antenna is not designed to transmit. But to a RX only radio yes. Note that it has SMA connectors, and is designed for radios that use SMA.

**Q: I am thinking of reviewing one of these on my youtube channel (hamrad88) but would like to know how long the cables are.  thanks for your time.  tom**
A: Hi Tom, the extension coax is 3 meters long,  and the cable on the dipole itself is 60 cm. If you like, contact me via the blog and I can send you a free set for review on your channel.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Handy Set

Fully functional set unlike many others on amzn. The price is worth it for just the extension. The rest is a bonus.
