Need help identifying an alien probe

[TreyG-20]

What the heck is this?



An antenna of some sort obviously. It was sitting in the street right in front of my house this morning. At first sight I thought it was the key from masters of the universe. It has a coaxel type cable coming out of it with female port on the end.

Looks like an alien antenna from an alien ship originating in the Andromeda Galaxy... Or a cb antenna...

I already have plans to make it into a CB antenna which is what I thought it was. The co axel cable is throwing me off though.

I've seen many CB antennas use coaxial cable. Especially for built in vehicle units. Used to have one.

Shows how much I know about CB's lol. I use to have one when I was teen in my truck, never paid attention to what was coming out the back.

Hopefully when I figure out how to turn it on that I'm pointing it in the right direction.

It's not big enough to transmit or receive CB signals (27mhz.). It most likely works on 800 to 1000 mhz. (cell or trunking systems). The horizontal elements (6) at the base represent a ground plane. The vertical with the little curly Q in the middle is a co-linear set up and is that transmits and receives. It's an omnidirectional antenna, not any sort of beam.

What are they used for?

 

[Charlie]

Either for a two way business repeater or "trunking" system or even a cell phone. The 800 to 1000 megacycles are the typical cell phone frequencies.

Charlie, is it just an older version of this?

That is the closest looking antenna I have seen so far on the net. Not that I have looked hard.

I figure if I could just find a flux capacitor I should be well on my way to a time machine.

That's it! You can karma that to me if you don't have a use for it! I can use it in my ham radio set=up.

I want to use for something, but in reality I probably won't. It's yours if you want it.

 

[Charlie]

Where are ya'? I can put it to some use. PM me if you don't want to put your location out.

Wow! 95,015 RON?!?! :O

 

[mantawolf]

What in the world would you do with 95,015 Rons?

Converted to $22,500 usd. Also found this antenna on ebay for around $75.

Yea, I was thinking 95,015 Ron Jeremy's...
