Our Ringos are Number One
Tough performers at a good price! The Ringo family of dependable, cost-
effective antennas has served more hams - from novice to veteran extra -
than any other amateur antenna made. Simple, straightforward design, light
weight and quick, easy installation make the durable Ringo family right for
you. Ringo's top performance and low cost mean more dB per dollar - an
equation anyone can appreciate.
Ringo Ranger II
Our Ringo Ranger II has more gain, less windload, and more mechanical
integrity than other two meter antennas. You'll quickly appreciate the benefits
of this amazing antenna! Based on the original W1BX Ringo, the Ringo
Ranger II is the latest design featuring three 5/8 wave radiating elements and
an adjustable 1/8 wave phasing stub. The result is a very low angle of
radiation over your coverage area.
The Ringo Ranger II has built-in lightning protection, UV-stabilized insulators,
heavy wall tubing, improved decoupling radials to eliminate feedline radiation,
and all-weather performance.
Ringo
These are the original W1BX FM Ringos. If you want a combination of compact
size, wide bandwidth, a low radiation angle, these economical antennas are
just for you. Since radials are not needed, you can even use our Ringos
indoors. Our Ringos are 1/2 wave and include built-in lightning protection. Put
up one of these easily installed antennas and start enjoying FM!
