DISCONTINUED Elecraft AXE1 40m Add on Coil

Add the popular 40m band to your AX1 antenna system. The AXE1 is a beautifully engineered addition that preserves the pocket sized design concept. And like the basic antenna, it is rated up to 30W. This makes it ideal for a wide range of transceivers.

This is where our AX1 whip really shines: getting you on the air in seconds, from anywhere. Use it HT-style with a hand-held rig; on a picnic table with an AXB1 whip bipod; or with a camera tripod and an AXT1 tripod adapter.

Using the AX1 with an ATU eliminates tedious length adjustments. Just select a band, tap the antenna tune switch, and go for it. The AX1 is resonant on 20 meters in one switch position, while the other is designed for efficient 17 and 15 meter matching using an ATU.

Whether you use the AX1 as a stealth field antenna, for pedestrian mobile, or as a versatile backup, it'll be ready when you are.

Those traveling light will appreciate the AX1's ultra-portability: It's the only telescoping whip that disassembles into two 6" (15 cm) pieces. (Three 6" pieces if you include the AXE1 40 m extender.) This allows the whip to fit comfortably in a pocket or in our smallest padded travel case, the CS-40.

The AX1 is the perfect antenna for your KX2 or KX3. Both rigs offer optional built-in ATUs that can tune the AX1 on 20, 17, and 15 meters. The settings are stored per-band for instant recall.
