What antennas for what bands

[mantree]

I am looking at buying myself a m1009 to replace my xterra as my offroad and expo rig. What I am having trouble with is I would like to go with military antennas that will bolt right up. I will be running a Lincoln ii+ export model covering 10,11,12 meter bands and a th9800 that operates in 70cm and 2m primaraly but can function in 6m and 10m (defentletly wont be using it on 10m with the other radio in the rig) dose anybody know what antennas I should be looking for for my frequency range. I would love to find a table of antennas and there ranges if anyone has seen something like that

do a search on the site , their are quite a few threads on that very subject oh and Merry Christmas

Since the military does not use those frequencies, you will have some trouble finding a single military antenna that will be suitable, and probably none out-of-the-box. Modifying military antennas to cover specific bands has been done But you will need matching circuits to keep the SWR at a manageable level.

None of these antennas will be "optimized" for what you're after, but for the lower band items, you should be well-covered by an AT-1011 (2-30 MHz). The efficiency peaks probably aren't perfectly aligned for your use, but with a matching circuit, they should be fine as a compromise antenna. As for the 70cm / 2m combo, this will only get worse for compromising. The only antennas I can think of for that would be designed as a very wideband 30-520 MHz antenna. There's too many to list, but you can check out CE-Shakespeare or Harris to see some examples of antennas that fit this band selection.

Sounds like I might end up using the same tram dual band and use a military whip for the HF radio.
