| DPDP has four antennas designed
for general wide-band scanner radio use, shown below. The majority
of our products can be used with any Uniden, RadioShack or other
brand of radio scanner, and also most commercial and ham radios.

| 118-1000
MHz Scanner LP Model Antenna |
||||||||||||||||||||||
FEATURES
Flexible Design: Unlike Yagi designs, the LP design has more useful lobes to the sides and back. This gives the antenna a 360 degree omni ability, with the added benefit of gain in the direction it's aimed. Why use a unity gain discone or ground plane, when you can have omni ability and directional gain as well with the LP. Top Performance: The wide-band Log Periodic design is simply the best performance you can get for general scanning. No other design will do better. Wide Coverage: This antenna is optimized for use in the 118 to 1000 MHz range, which makes it good for all-around scanner use. Other bands can be received as well. Wide Bandwidth: The nature of the LP design offers a wide bandwidth. Not only is it wide in the band it was designed to operate in, but it also does pretty well in nearby bands. This will help if there's other bands you're interested in. Solid Construction: The antenna is constructed of twin 3/4" square aluminum tube for the booms, and solid 1/4" aluminum round is used for the elements. The boom is very stiff, as are the elements. 1/4" stainless bolts and lock nuts are utilized, not flimsy dimple rivets. The entire antenna is carefully hand crafted and all aluminum is given a brushed finish. Weather Resistant: All fasteners are stainless steel and UV resistant cable clips are used to hold the coax to the boom. High Quality N Connector: Instead of the usual UHF connector that's included with most antennas, this antenna includes a 50 ohm female N connector. N connectors are more water resistant and handle high frequencies better. Horizontal Mount: A horizontal mast piece consisting of aluminum plate is included with the antenna. This acts as a stand-off and allows the the antenna to be positioned away from your mast in free space and vertical polarization. Electrically Isolated: The antenna is electrically isolated from the horizontal and vertical masts. Mounting Hardware:
The necessary hardware for attaching the antenna to any standard
1 1/4" steel mast is also included. Just prepare your
mast and you're all set to go.
Only Partial Assembly Required: The boom is completely assembled, along with the feeder cable and mount. The only things that need to be done yourself are attaching the elements, and putting up a mast. TESTIMONIALS "I just put up one of DPD productions
new 118-1000 MHz LP antennas. This is one great antenna for
the money. Great looks and very easy to put together. Performance
wise from 30-860 MHz... excellent. I pick up low band state
police just as good as a discone. VHF air... fantastic...
able to hear controllers and planes on the ground. UHF air
just as good. 860 MHz trunking... great. As far as other freqs...
VHF high, UHF, VHF low... really good. If you are looking
for a real good LP but don't want to break the bank, check
out this antenna." "What I do know is that my recent antenna
upgrade to a DPD Productions Scanner LP Model Antenna is AWESOME
for working CG Sector SFO. The LP Model definitely out performs
my old RS Discone. With the Discone I could "hear"
Sector, but NOT the CG Stations in the Bay area, like I can
now, with the LP. The audio with the LP Model as compared
to the Discone, is like the difference in picture quality
between analog and HD on your TV." "I just wanted to first thank you for
making a great antenna. I own and work with a scantenna and
was very skeptical in purchasing one of your antennas. After
reading reviews on Radio Reference and looking at photos of
the antenna construction I was convinced. I have purchased
the 118-1000 MHz Scanner LP Model Antenna and I will say I
have not been disappointed. I didn't think that anything could
come close to the scantenna, but it has." HOW TO PURCHASE The standard shipping

FEATURES
Flexible Design: Unlike Yagi designs, the LP design has more useful lobes to the sides and back. This gives the antenna a 360 degree omni ability, with the added benefit of gain in the direction it's aimed. Why use a unity gain discone or ground plane, when you can have omni ability and directional gain as well with the LP. This antenna is a good alternative between a standard Omni and a narrow beam Yagi. The UHF LP also makes a great railroad ATCS monitoring antenna. Wide Coverage: This antenna is optimized for use in the 700 to 1000 MHz range, which makes it a good choice for all the new trunking/digital systems in use today. Wide Bandwidth: The nature of the LP design offers a wide bandwidth. Not only is it wide in the band it was designed to operate in, but it also does pretty well in nearby bands. This will help if there's other bands you're interested in.

Rear Mount: The rear mounting bracket included, securely attaches the antenna to your mast and is also electrically isolated from the antenna itself.

| OmniX
Multi Band Scanner Model Antenna |
|||||||||||||||||
FEATURES
Multi Band-Wide Coverage: The uniquely designed OmniX is tuned to multiple bands, giving it wide frequency coverage. Unlike antennas that were originally designed for the ham bands and then marketed as a scanner antenna, the OmniX was specifically designed for scanner radio use and tuned to popular commercial and civil service bands. Elements are specifically tuned for 118-137 MHz, 148-175 MHz and 225-900 MHz, but other bands can be received as well. This antenna can be quite esthetically pleasing compared to discones and it's also more efficient. DC Grounded: A metal ground plane is not needed with this design. Solid Construction: The antenna is constructed of 1 1/2" aluminum tube for the core element and solid 1/4" aluminum round is used for side elements. No flimsy tubing or dimple rivets are used. All aluminum is given a brushed finish. Isolated Mast: The actual vertical structure is comprised of UV resistant plastic. This allows the actual elements to be raised into 'free space', away from your metal mounting mast. Weather Resistant: All fasteners are stainless steel and the feed point is protected by shrink tube. High Quality N Connector: Instead of the usual UHF connector that's included with most antennas, this antenna includes a 50 ohm female N connector, on the end of a small cable pigtail. N connectors are more water resistant and handle high frequencies better. Includes Mounting Hardware: Price includes mounting clamps to allow attaching the antenna to any standard 1 1/4" mounting mast. Only Partial Assembly Required: The core antenna is completely assembled, along with the feeder cable. The only things that need to be done yourself are attaching the side elements, and putting up a mast. TESTIMONIALS "Just a note to let you know how extremely satisfied
I am with my purchase of the OmniX Multi Band Scanner
Antenna. I ordered it on a Sunday, it arrived on
a Wed... 3-day service, outstanding. I installed it today
and it is a superb antenna. I am impressed with its assembly,
good looks and terrific performance. The improvement on
my scanners and wide band radios is dramatic compared
to the antenna I was using. Thanks for a great product
and great service." HOW TO PURCHASE
