  Well Klaus . We can kick this topic around till the cows come home .The discone Has its tx In the form of a flat disk.On the top
  The antenna on Tec-net has a 113mm ground plane. I built one a couple of weeks back it performed better then the mag- mount in the same location.The VHF antenna is a new 1 on me.The ones we used were the  vertical type . the HF ones were zepps Types if my memory  serves me well. Then that was 50 years ago when I was in the merchant navy. The whole ship was our ground plane along with the salt water.

I've posted this elsewhere on this forum, but now having used the PCB antenna, I can say it's very good and I recommend it. It's available in indoor and outdoor versions too.

Hi, what is the max distance it can receive? And could you supply a photo about what it looks like?
It will be very helpful if you have a detailed blueprint.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Stargate

I bought the antenna from Francois over on the Beast forum. Unfortunately he's no longer making them, but he might start again in the future. Have a look here for the info you're after.

Thank you very much Stephen. But I can't see the pics even joined the group and went into the Photo folder.

That group isn't storing the "attachments" on the group.  aka "Email attachments are distributed, not archived"
It's using this setting: "Include in emails (exclude from site)"

That group could use this setting "Store on site (exclude from emails)".

If you sign into the Beast forum and then look at the left hand screen menu, you'll see "photos", the ones you want should be there.
