BIG SIGNAL 6BS-446
6-Element Directional Quad for High-Performance PMR446 Operation
The BIG SIGNAL 6BS-446 is a 6-element directional Cubical Quad specifically developed for operators looking for higher gain, greater directivity, and improved weak-signal reception on the PMR446 band.
Band: PMR446 / 446 MHz
Configuration: 6 Quad elements
Elements: Full-wave closed loops
Type: Single-band directional antenna
Boom Length: 1.13 m / 3.71 ft
Assembly: Quick assembly with preassembled elements
Recommended Use: Directional links / weak-signal operation / fixed stations
Key Features
• 6 Full-Wave Quad Elements
The 6BS-446 uses a geometry based on full-wave closed-loop elements, specifically optimized for operation at 446 MHz.
• High Gain and Directivity
Its 6-element configuration concentrates RF energy in the desired direction, improving performance when working challenging directional links and weak signals.
• Excellent Signal-to-Noise Performance
The combination of directivity, off-axis rejection, and closed-loop elements can provide cleaner reception in the presence of certain types of noise and interference.
• High Performance in a Compact Package
With a boom length of only 1.13 m / 3.71 ft, the 6BS-446 provides an excellent balance of gain, size, and ease of installation.
• Quick Assembly
Its preassembled elements simplify installation and reduce the time required to get the antenna ready for operation.
• A Different Alternative to a Conventional Yagi
While many Yagi antennas use open elements approximately one-half wavelength long, the 6BS-446 uses full-wave closed Quad elements, providing a different design approach that is especially attractive when high performance is required in a compact footprint.
