I was wanting a dedicated airband antenna a while back. I was wanting something ready made so I know it is made right. I was planning to order a J-Pole antenna but I saw a reply from PRCGuy here Aviation J-Pole Antenna regarding an antenna with a vertical element that is bent down in a 180° turn. A Commscope DB201-L which would be cut for 127MHz. It seems this antenna has been discontinued so I may have to build one of my own.
I have been doing some research on this antenna to find out exact dimensions and how it is constructed. I have managed to find some Commscope documents about cut size measurements so that gives me some length dimensions but I don't have any dimensions on bend radius (spacing of the folded part) and element diameter. I haven't been able to find any good closeup photos of the actual antenna parts, just line drawings. Does anyone know anything about this antenna or have any additional info on how it is constructed.
Thanks!
