The ultimate "do-it-all" antenna for your shack, the Workman T601 Discone is the perfect solution for anyone who wants to listen to *everything*. Its unique design provides an incredibly wide receive range of 25 MHz to 1300 MHz, making it the ideal antenna for police/fire/EMS scanners and wideband SDRs.
But the T601 is more than just a scanner antenna. It's also engineered to transmit on multiple popular Canadian amateur bands, including 2 metres, 1.25 metres, and 70 centimetres. It's the perfect "first antenna" for hams in apartments, condos, or rentals who need one compact, non-obtrusive antenna to handle all their VHF/UHF and scanning needs.

Hi, what diameter mast do you need for this antenna. Does the antenna have the mount for the mast? thx
The opening on the bottom is ~3.5 cm. The antenna does not come with any mounting hardware.
Thanks

Would the T601 discone be any good for satellite operations - primarily FM and SSB birds? I'm looking for something with high-angle and overhead coverage. I already have a Comet tri-band vertical for lower angle coverage. Thanks ...
Discones are not ideal for working AmSat, but will suffice for low in the sky passes. They are not good at overhead. Adding a ground plane will improve. With any antenna your results will vary based on your location and surroundings.

" T601 Discone Multiband" What are the dimensions?
32" x 32" are the stated dimensions. Thanks Bill
-
What is the gain on this antenna?
Broadband antennas like this are typically Unity Gain, as a tradeoff of being able to work multiple bands without having to re-tune the antenna when changing frequency.
