DiamondDiamond Antenna Original D3000N Super Discone Antenna

Paired this with a couple of SDR's. Receives hf very well. I also listen on a few local trunked systems. Good for any type of recieving.

Works well. It was shipped to me from a dealer missing two radials. I contacted Diamond and they sent me the two radials within a few day. I have ALWAYS been impressed by Diamond Antennas and their service.This is a great go-to antenna for almost any rig/band. The antennal is very well designed with good quality materials..Now I wish they would make a 20' version of this antenna.

Use this for your local VHF:UHF digital station. These are also well know for huge wide-band receive for you SWL folks. But for local tropospheric digi the only step up from this is a yagi.

Despite being omni directional and having no gain, I can pick up a signal on this antenna far better than any other I have used. I have an non-amplified line running almost 100ft to my radio. The antenna os only about 20ft in the air. Yet I am picking up repeaters and radios from almost 2 hours away! The area I live in does have hills and is not perfectly flat and there are mountains in the distance., I am just astonished at how well it picks up. All local channels come in strong, if even a little too strong.EDIT: I had to drop a star from my previous review because the elements keep falling off. The method used to attach them is not very good and any windstorm knocks them right off. Getting very annoying.

I had a Discone antenna from a different company in the past and it fell apart, due to poor craftsmanship. This antenna out of the package was much better built and went together a lot nicer. Also, just to note, If you're a amateur radio operator, this will also transmit on 6M, 2M, 70CM, 33CM, and 23CM.

Excellent little antenna for RF experimentation. Sturdy with easy to follow directions.

I received my antenna and the only things in the package were a few spokes and some hardware. The entire main body was nowhere to be found in the sealed box and package.

I'm just dipping my feet into HAM radio. This is the perfect antenna because of the wide range of frequencies I can receive. It's incredible how many stations I can get now down here in the bowl. Right now It's just in the yard. I can't wait until I mount it on the house. Very easy to put together.
