AMB_AntExtend: Vertical Extensions for Hi Q's HF Motorized Antennas
[Photo above: "AntExtend 2.5" in brushed aluminum and black powder coat, with included 1/2" HD solder lug and 1/2x20 mounting stud]
The "AntExtend" raises your antenna so the coil is above the roof line of most SUVs, vans and station wagons, for better efficiency. It can be used in mobile and fixed base applications. We custom make these solid aluminum extensions in:
two diameters (1.6 & 2.5 inches)
lengths of 12 inches, 24 inches and custom lengths.
The "AntExtend" comes with a stainless steel stud so you have what you need to bolt it between the antenna and your mount, with the hardware that Hi Q provides. It also comes with a heavy duty solder lug, for fastening your coax center conductor to the bottom antenna bolt - or use our new SHD-SO239-LA 2.0 or 2.5 SO239 base. The "AntExtend" is available in our standard "hand buffed" aluminum and our five standard powder coated finishes (black, red, white, blue and clear-coat).
==> It should be noted that if you extend the antenna too much you might loose 10m, especially with a medium or long length whip or large capacity hat.
Specifications
2.5 inch diameter models include all necessary hardware to bolt it between your Hi Q "ruggedized" antenna "threaded tenon" (this is what your antenna screws into) and the Hi Q mounting hardware - we provide a stainless steel 1/2x20 stud and 1/2 inch heavy duty solder lug.
(Hi Q provides the antenna bottom 1 inch diameter threaded "tenon", two 2.5" insulating wafers and base bolt).
1.6 inch diameter models include all necessary hardware to bolt it between your Hi Q "standard" antenna and the Hi Q mounting hardware - we provide a stainless steel 3/8x24 stud and 3/8 inch heavy duty solder lug.
(Hi Q provides the two 2" insulating wafers and base bolt from Hi Q).

Product Photos
The following are just a few of the photos that we have on our products, to illustrate some of the key features and installation ideas for this item.
PHOTO BELOW: "AntExtend-2.5" in buffed aluminum and black powder coat, showing the Hi Q antenna threaded "tenon" (on top) and pair of Hi Q insulating wafers - these items come with your antenna. The 1/2" solder lug comes with our "AntExtend-2.5" since it is not included with your antenna. The "AntExtend-1.6" models are for Hi Q's standard antennas which do NOT have the threaded tenon, and have a 3/8x24 base bolt.
