Will this Opek Tri-Band Antenna boost my signal & work well with a Kenwood THF-6A Handheld Ham Radio?

I only used it for scanner not xmit. It did no better than uniden supplied rubber duck which is very good. I have been unable to surpass it with anything. I have ken wood transceivers UHF and they do well on ken wood rubber ducks but UHF antennas on car roofs boost signal car to car.

Well it won't 'boost' anything; it's not an amplifier. The antenna is supposedly trimmed for a maximum gain of 3.2 dB at 446 MHz. If it flattens your wave energy (gain) at other frequencies, it does not say. It could drift off to unity at all other frequencies for all we know. Your radio uses a SMA-M.Apparently the 4 best antennas for your HT are the -Diamond SRH320AMaldol MH-610Comet HT-224Jestream JTH2

Check your connecter, you may have to use an adapter, I am using a Yaesu, and am not familiar with Kenwood connecters KK4WCX

Reading the description of that antenna, I noticed that it has a built in amplifier. Try using it first, to see what your reception is, before adding a separate amp.

Yep It should improve your signal ... I use it on a outdoor antenna that is 50 ft from my house.... I went from 2 stations to 25 when i hooked it up.

It should work perfectly. I bought this to replace a cheaper antenna that stopped working. I highly recommend.

Maybe. If you have a good (clear) but weak signal it will probably help. If you have a weak, dirty, signal it will just make it stronger although it did 'clean' up my signal a little. I think best results are gotten from putting it in the circuit as early as possible (antenna end not T.V. end).

Hi, The antenna should come pre-tuned for the 11 meter band (cb channels 1 - 40) It will work with Ham bands (10, 12, 15 & 17 meters) if you use a tuner. Should work with your older cb radio just fine without tuning, 73 & Happy DXing!

The Antenna I purchased came with the amplifier. Check and see what the model you are looking at states as some do not come with the booster.

If you can supply ac power directly to this amplifier, it can replace your existing one. You cannot feed power to this amp over a coaxial cable. Whether it will help your channel reception or not is uncertain, but most likely it won't help that much, if at all. You may find it more productive to reposition your antenna for better reception, if that is possible. Good luck. I hope you find a satisfactory solution.

Yes. This radio is capable of picking up ham radio transmissions. For the antenna, I would suggest using the long wire that comes included with the radio instead of the whip antenna, or use your own wire antenna hookup (the longer the wire, the better). Also, I would suggest that you have some sort of amplified speaker attached to the headphone output jack. The volume output on this radio is not the best for copying SSB and CW transmissions and you will probably fare better using an external amplified speaker.

I don't see how it could do anything but improve your signal. Works great on the antenna I have put in my attic.

Yes, it will. You will probably have to do some fine tuning, yet extend the telescopic antenna before you do so. The relative success of which may depend upon how good your current signal is or if you are located in a larger city or rural location.

I used it for a TP-Link router to increase the reception/transmission power. You might look up the specifications for the antenna to get a better idea for your usage.

Yes it works quite well. Line of site and type of antenna used will also have effect on this however.

Yes... but this type of antenna is used Mostly for Moble 10 meter radios. If its a Home Base Station radio they have more powerfull Antennas on the Market.... Good Luck.....

I believe the preamp will work on most any kind of antenna. Put it close to the antenna.

This antenna should work well. Be sure to properly tune the antenna and radio according to the instructions that came with your antenna and radio.

I am using this antenna with a GPRS modem (800 mhz and 1800 mhz) so I guess it supported
