Highlights
Finally! An easily packable portable antenna just for 70cm and GMRS!
Deploy or stow it in seconds!
No counterpoise needed...it's built in!
The ground plane, or jungle, antenna is a different configuration of the vertical dipole that has a more favorable geometry without sacrificing gain.
The antenna is pyramid shaped, with a vertical radiator and 3 radials angling down and away.
The antenna is fed from the center hub with a female BNC connector and the feed line can hang straight down.
An isolation ring is located at the end of the vertical element, to make it easier to hang and secure the antenna.
The isolation ring is labeled with the frequencies for which the antenna is tuned, to make it easy to identify.
The vertical element also folds down to make storage and transport easier.
To deploy, simply unfold the vertical element, attach the feedline to the hub, and hang the antenna!
The antenna comes pre-assembled and is one piece.
Perfect for:
- POTA (Parks on the Air)
- SOTA (Summits on the Air)
- EmComm (Emergency Communications)
- Search and rescue
- Go bags
- Hiking and backpacking trips
- Hunting camps
- Apartments
- Homes with restrictive HOAs
- Hotel Rooms
Features:
- It is a tuned, full sized, quarter wave, ground plane antenna.
- It is highly efficient for the tuned band...more of your signal gets out!
- This is 4th generation of my "Jungle Hub" concept antennas.
- I personally cut, solder, crimp, assemble, and test every antenna.
- The central "Jungle Hub" is UV resistant, impact resistant, and fully potted (polymer filled) to seal the internal connections away from the elements.
- The BNC female connector is an Amphenol RF brand, high quality connector.
- The antenna wire is 14 gauge stranded copper with a polyethylene jacket. It stands up to repeated flexing without kinking.
- The cable stop is aluminum. No rust!
- The isolation ring is labeled with the tuned band.
- The antenna is suitable for outdoor installation. (Note: For long term outdoor installation, we recommend using a coax connection sealer such as Coax-Seal to maintain performance.)
- The antenna is fully assembled and ready to use immediately.
FAQ
- What is Band Bias?
I have tuned the antennas to be either better on 70cm or better on GMRS. You will have a choice when you purchase the antenna.

Thank you for your review!
Great product and well made. It’s small and light to easily fit in a bag. I get extended reception with this on a pole or on a tree branch.

Thank you! I'm glad it's performing well for you.
excellent performance with both a handheld radio and a 50W base unit with antenna located inside a windows on a second story room. excellent signal report given with praises on modulation and clarity.
Response from The Laser Ham
You'll definitely be able to reach out with 50W and this antenna. Thank you for the good review!
My son and I are having a blast connecting to repeaters now that we have better LOS and range. Great system.
Response from The Laser Ham
