Radioddity HF-008 Portable Multi-Band HF Antenna

$99.00

6–80 Meters • Portable Design • Up to 200W SSB

The Radioddity HF-008 is a compact, adjustable multi-band antenna designed for operators who want an easy-to-transport HF antenna for POTA, camping, field operations, emergency communications, and portable stations.

Covering frequencies from approximately 3.5–50 MHz, the HF-008 provides operation across multiple popular amateur bands from 80 meters through 6 meters. Its detachable design packs down to approximately 30.7 inches (78 cm), making it easy to transport with your portable radio equipment.

Pair it with a Xiegu G90 or other compatible HF transceiver for a compact portable station that can be set up without carrying a full-size wire antenna system.

Key Features

  • 3.5–50 MHz Frequency Coverage

  • 80m through 6m Multi-Band Operation

  • Supports 80m, 40m, 30m, 20m, 17m, 15m, 10m, 11m and 6m

  • Up to 200W PEP on SSB

  • Up to 100W on CW

  • Adjustable telescopic antenna elements

  • Quick band changes using the supplied jumper cable

  • PL-259 / SL16-K 50Ω connection

  • Typical tuned SWR approximately 1.0–1.5

  • Copper and stainless-steel construction

  • Detachable design for easy transportation and storage

  • Packs down to approximately 30.7 inches

  • Approximately 22.9 oz. / 0.7 kg

  • 2mm adjustment wrench included

Designed for Portable HF Operation

The HF-008 is particularly well suited for operators who don't want to carry and deploy a large wire antenna every time they head into the field.

Instead of stringing wire through trees or setting up a large antenna system, the HF-008 can be installed on a suitable portable or magnetic antenna mount and adjusted for the desired operating band.

This makes it a great choice for:

  • Parks on the Air (POTA)

  • Portable HF operation

  • Camping and overlanding

  • Field Day

  • Emergency communications

  • Temporary base stations

  • Portable G90 stations

Multi-Band Coverage

The HF-008 provides operating configurations for:

80 Meters – 3.56 MHz

40 Meters – 7.05 MHz

30 Meters – 10.1 MHz

20 Meters – 14 MHz

17 Meters – 18 MHz

15 Meters – 21.1 MHz

12/11/10 Meter Range – approximately 24.9–29 MHz

6 Meters – 50 MHz

Band selection is accomplished by changing the supplied jumper connection and adjusting the telescopic element to the appropriate length.

Fine adjustment of the whip allows the antenna to be tuned for your desired operating frequency.

Low SWR Without a Complicated Setup

When properly configured and installed, the HF-008 is designed to achieve approximately 1.0–1.5 SWR across its supported operating configurations.

For best results, adjust the antenna for the actual frequency you intend to use and verify SWR before transmitting.

A NanoVNA or antenna analyzer makes initial setup particularly easy. Once you determine the correct element lengths for your favorite frequencies, record those measurements for faster setups in the field.

An Excellent Match for the Xiegu G90

The HF-008 makes an excellent portable antenna companion for the Xiegu G90 and the QMX+ Transceiver.

The G90's built-in SWR scanner and wide-range automatic antenna tuner complement the adjustable HF-008 and make it possible to assemble a capable portable HF station without carrying a large amount of equipment.

With the HF-008 rated for considerably more power than the G90 produces, operators also have room to use the antenna with higher-power HF equipment.

Radio, antenna mount, coax, and other station accessories are sold separately unless specifically stated otherwise.

  • Documentation

Important Installation Information

The HF-008 requires a suitable counterpoise or ground plane for proper operation.

The manufacturer recommends using the antenna with a suitable magnetic mount installed on a vehicle or another structure capable of providing an adequate counterpoise. It is not designed to simply screw directly onto the antenna connector of an HF transceiver.

For portable operation, always verify antenna SWR before transmitting and make final element-length adjustments for your installation and operating frequency.

The HF-008 is intended primarily as a stationary portable antenna. It should not be used on a vehicle while the vehicle is moving.

Avoid operating or storing the antenna in wet environments to help prevent corrosion.

Build a Compact Portable HF Station

Pair the Radioddity HF-008 with the Xiegu G90, a suitable antenna mount, and a portable battery to build a compact HF station that's easy to transport and quick to deploy at your next POTA activation, campsite, or field operating location.
