Bonito MegaDipol MD300DX - active dipole 9 kHz - 300 MHz

MegaDipole 300DX is a broadband active dipole with a maximum upper working frequency of 300 MHz. The dipole reacts to the electrical component (E-Field) of the electromagnetic field and will provide the best results in terms of signal strength and SNR (signal ratio -noise) in locations with little or no locally generated interference. However, the receiver to be paired with this antenna should have a high enough dynamic range to be able to effectively process the received signals.

In contrast to simple E-field antennas with only one radiating element, the symmetrical construction of the MegaDipole 300DX will result in almost no resonance effects or negative reflections caused by the coaxial cable. It is a first choice antenna for DXers.

Particularly in electrically silent environments, it can really play to its strength by efficiently amplifying weak signals. In practical operations, a maximum signal to noise ratio of 110 dB was achieved! MegaDipol MD300DX is ideal for broadband, SDR and WEB-SDR receivers such as KiwiSDR etc. The MegaDipol MD300DX can also be used on all other receivers, including low-end SDR and portable portable receivers. .

The MegaDipol comes standard with 10 - 15 V DC (max 40 mA), however it can be used with a wide range of supply voltages. The antenna can even operate at slightly reduced IP values with the same gain with only 5 volts via USB. This offers a significant advantage in that you can supply the MegaDipol on trips away from the radio shack or DX expeditions yourself, using a low-noise USB power bank.

"The MegaDipol has already attracted a lot of attention with its reception performance at various events such as DX-Camp, field days and in-house exhibitions. In these tests, the MD300DX outperformed existing antennas usually by 10-15 dB in SNR.”
