Active Wideband Antenna 20kHz – 300MHz

Wide frequency range 20kHz – 300MHz
Small dimensions
Ideal for traveling, at home or DX-Camps

The BONI-WHIP active antenna replaces the very successful Mini-Whip antenna. Despite its size (only approx. 17 cm long), it renders excellent reception results on longwave, mediumwave and shortwave and additionally for VHF up to 300 MHz. We developed this antenna ourselves and it is built here in Germany, so it really is “Made in Germany” by Bonito. The antenna offers a lot of improvements and better values than the original Mini-Whip. In our newsroom you can see a benchmark test between the Boni-Whip vs. the Mini.Whip: http://newsroom.bonito.net/?p=463

Even on very low frequencies the Boni-Whip produces very good reception results. It can be used beginning with 20 kHz and is a good choice for listeners who are interested in low frequencies.

We also thought about radio listeners who are interested in high frequencies and extended the range to 300 MHz. Even with only a little effort you can achieve fantastic reception results; and because of its small size, the antenna can be erected inconspicuously.

The active antenna circuitry is cased in a weather and UV resistant black box. The voltage supply is delivered by the antenna cable and the included power supply module (bias tee). A V4A stainless steel pole mount bracket is available optional as well.

Because of its interchangeable radiating elements (Whips) the Boni-Whip can be used with different elements for experiments. The antenna can thus be adjusted to the surrounding environment or a special reception area. This is very helpful if you attend to a Fieldday or a DX-Camp with loads of HF in the air.

I have performed extensive outdoor tests on the Boni-Whip at various locations in Germany, Austria, and USA; and even I am amazed that we have produced an antenna with such small size, mobility and excellent performance/price ratio. You will get a noticeably better antenna for almost the same price as the original Mini-Whip. pa0rtd mini whip
