   “UHV-6”  
  40M – 70cm Mobile Antenna  
The UHV-6 accomplishes several important functions. 

Inexpensive ($159.95 list price) Includes 40/15/10/6/2M/70cm bands

Easy to mount (Standard trunk lip / hatch-back / SUV-Van rear door / pipe CLAMP MOUNTS)

Easily configured to individual needs (3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 bands, your choice)

 Fold-over hinge included

GAIN on 2M and 70cm

OPTIONAL COILS    L-14 (20m) L-18 (17m)


The UHV-6 is Comet’s 3rd generation HF –UHF mobile antenna,
and it’s the best!  Without the HF coils attached, the UHV-6 is a tribander for 6M/2M/70cm.  The top of the element has a threaded socket for attaching the HF coil of your choice, now it’s a quad-band antenna!

Want more HF bands available? 
Simply add an additional 1, 2, or 3 coils horizontally using the threaded sockets in the ring around the top of the element!  Each HF coil tunes independently to the part of the band you want to operate.

2:1 VSWR bandwidth is approximately:

40M     23kHz  
20M     55kHz  
17M     75kHz  
15M     100kHz  

10M    400kHzUnlike the screwdriver antennas that are expensive and difficult to mount, the UHV-6 is easy.  If you have an existing antenna on your vehicle that has a sturdy mount with an SO-239 connector, simply take it off and put the UHV-6 on!  You’re on the air!  AND, the UHV-6 is a ½ wave on 2M: 2.15dBi gain over a ¼ wave and it’s 2 5/8 waves in phase on 70cm:  5.5dBi gain. 

The fold-over hinge on the UHV-6 is a strong hinge protected by a threaded collar.  Unscrew the collar and lift it up to expose the hinge.  very convenient when entering garages, parking structures, drive-thru’s, etc…

MOUNTING OPTIONS FOR NO HOLES INSTALLATIONS:
Standard sedan/passenger car:      
GR-5M  Heavy-duty stainless steel trunk lip mount w/16’9” of coax.  The first 18” of coax leaving the mount is RG-188 type.  It goes through the trunk’s weather seal without causing a water leak or shorting the coax causing an impedance mismatch.  The balance is double shielded, low loss coax with a soldered on gold plated PL-259.  
 

Hatch-back doors, SUV rear doors, quad-cab trucks etc…  See the picture of the UHV-6 mounted to the rear door of a Dodge quad-cab.  

RS-730 Adjustable black anodized mount.  It adjusts to vertical from any angle.  Simply slide it over a lip ¼” or less thick and tighten the 4 large set screws on the bottom side.  This grounds the mount and holds it securely in place.  
CK-3M5 Deluxe cable assembly.  The first 18” of coax leaving the mount is RG-188 style coax.  This 1/8” diameter coax gets through the weather seal without causing a water leak, wind noise or coax damage.  Total length:  16’9” (5 meters)  
CK-3M Same deluxe cable assembly, but total length is 9’9” (3 meters)  
NOTE: If your using the UHV-6 with the FT-100, IC-706 etc… The COMET duplexer model CF-706A will combine both antenna outputs into a single connector.  
YAESU ATAS-100 Antenna  
The above mounting options and CF-706A duplexer work extremely well with the ATAS-100 antenna.  
Overall the Comet UHV-6 is a great antenna.  The perfect match for the latest multi-band HF-70cm rigs!
