SIRIO TORNADO 42-50MHZ

[chaggles1]

What’s up Buffs………First off I want to thank everyone who commented on my thread about what the best low band 42-50mhz antenna for receiving around the 46mhz range. I decided a Sirio Tornado would be the best option, they have a 42-50 model. My question is, I can only find it on one website, buyantenna.com. Is this a trustable antenna distributor, the link is below…..73……

The 42-50 model isn’t listed on Amazon. I can’t find it anywhere. If you’ve seen it, may I ask for a link?

There is an eBay seller that goes by DJ Electronics Products and other names in Fremont, CA. If its the same dealer they are a major Sirio distributor and reliable.

is see that, looks a little smaller than the tornado which is good. does it need to be tuned directly to 46 mhz or will it recieve it good as long as it’s about 20-25-30 ft up? my frequency i use is 46.10 for listening.

The 40-70MHz job is a simple 1/4 wave ground plane where the Tornado is a 5/8 wave with a little gain. Both of them will need tuning to 46MHz and should work over a couple of MHz around that ok.
