How wide is it at the bottom of the radials? I want to know if it will fit on my window sill but nowhere tells you how wide it is.
Is this Antenna any good for receiving indoors with a wouxon kg-uv9k transceiver.

Great Antenna!

Great antenna! Signals are much better with this compared to the previous antennas I was using. Its large, but not too large that it is in the way (depending on where you place it)

Great for scanners

The antenna comes partly assembled only requiring the magnetic base and stand, the downward-facing rods and the 4 horizontal rubber-duck-style antenna to be screwed in. I had some trouble with one of the rods which wasn't properly threaded and would not screw in, but I have some dies so managed to put a thread on it. But I am sure it would make no difference if I could not have screwed it in. The whole antenna is about 2 feet high when on its stand, so not as big as it looks in some photos. The magnet is also very strong so watch your gingers when mounting it on a metal groundplane e.g. car roof or filing cabinet. It definitely improves the signal I am getting on my Uniden scanner. I listen to Stanstead and Luton and now I am managing to pick up the aircraft and the traffic controller clearly whereas I was only picking up the aircraft clearly before.Great antenna.

Easy to setup with a strong magnet mount for stationary car roof mounting.

It's a solidly constructed aerial with quite a few bits and pieces to assemble to make an effective and reasonably priced antenna, that offers a clear reception attached to my STL-SDR v3 dongle. Not ideal for indoor use, that could just be my location though, but brilliant reception at the park stuck on the car roof.Conclusion: Would I recommend it? Yes and mainly because it remains fairly portable and I can't complain about the reception quality.

Good upgrade for indoor reception

Arrived very promptly and well packaged. Requires a little bit of assembly which was easy to do without any special tools. Connected to a Nooelec SMART dongle with a BNC to SMA adapter. With this antenna connected I can immediately receive over a better range of frequencies and see stronger signals on those that I could already pick up. Will need to experiment with placement, and it has a fairly wide footprint with the ground plane elements so it needs some clearance. Will struggle on a shallow window sill. As a casual user who enjoys exploring RF as part of a broader interest in electronics, I think that this is a very good choice.

Astonishing performance

I am a "Radio ham" and bought this antenna as an add on for my "Malahit" receiver for exploring VHF and UHF but it actually rrovides amazing reception to way below the Quoted 25mHz. Useful down to 7MHz. anywayBuilt like a tank. Solid Aluminium Ground plane radials and stainles steel elements.With judicious use of locktite on the threads and self amlagamating tape hear and there I don't see why it couldn't be used outside.I must repeat the performance of this antenna really is astomishing

Not bad antenna but wide band performance hamers all up gain

Not a bad antenna overall if you need a wide bandwidth to cover (like for use with an SDR radio).Mechanical build is fine once assembled but the horizontal rubber duck antennas dont screw tight in some of the holes until I swapped a few with each other.So it's a physical machining issue.but once assembled it is fine and looks like it will hold up to use and abuse.Since discones are zero gain antennas you may think that these antennas are deaf but thats not the case.If you want ultra wide bandwidth out of a single antenna then performance will be compromised in terms of gain.Slightly more expensive than from other sellers elsewhere on the web but the added advantage is that it's delivered the next day.The antenna will work fine with either an RTL SDR reciever or with a SDRPlay reciever (with a bnc to sma adapter).

Reception

I already have one of these and to be honest the reception is better than I expected I took the magplate off and mounted it on a 22 foot pole well the reception is awesome I even picked up a tower in Paris belive it or not I cannot praise this enough only to say I purchased another one to replace my other antennae
