MFJ-2389 8-Band Stealth Antenna
The MFJ-2389 8-Band Stealth Antenna is a compact vertical solution for hams with limited installation space. Engineered for stealth, its unique radial system allows for side-grouping, making it ideal for mounting against walls or towers. This antenna covers 80 through 10 meters, plus 6, 2, and 70cm bands, with individual tuning stubs for precise HF and 6-meter band adjustments. It handles up to 200W PEP on HF and is suitable for both portable and permanent installations, accommodating masts from 1 to 2.25 inches in diameter.

What customers say
This antenna is highly valued as an effective compromise, especially for operators facing strict space or HOA limitations. Reviewers consistently praise its eight band coverage and straightforward initial assembly, making deployment simple and visually discreet. The core theme centers on its utility in restricted environments where larger options are impossible. While performance is functional across all bands, achieving peak efficiency, particularly on lower frequencies, requires a good grounding system. Users accept that it is a compromise solution, noting that long term durability of fiberglass and internal components warrants careful handling. Overall, it delivers excellent value by enabling operation where other antennas cannot.
