MC-750 is a 7-50MHz, 100-WATT vertical antenna designed for portable applications. For Frequencies above 14MHz it is used as a full size(1/4 wavelength)antenna. And a coil is used for 7MHz.

All the components are packed with a 180*110*30mm plastic box which makes it very easy to be carried by operators for field operation.

The telescopic whip of the MC-750 antenna featured with a frequency marking system, indicating different bands while tuning, aimming to provide ham radio operators with an easiest field experience.

The supplied 4 counterpoises(radials) are a plug-and-play system. With the banana plug on the antenna base, it’s very easy for users to set up the radials in just seconds.

JNCRADIO MC-750 is a portable antenna kit that supports 40-6 meter bands and operates with a maximum power of 100 watts PEP. With a compact carry bag measuring 65x9x7cm and weighing only 1.8kg, it can be easily packed and transported. MC-750 operates as 1/4 wavelength full-size antennas on 14MHz-50MHz. For 7MHz operation, the supplied 7MHz coil is needed.

OUR OFFICIAL DISTRIBUTORS

  • What is the maximum power to drive with MC-750 in digital modes, for instance FT8?

In the product description we stated 100 watts PEP which means you should use maximum 50 watts for digital modes. In fact, we’ve tested in the field with FT-8 100 watts and SSB 200 watts without any issues. (Without the 7MHz loading coil). However it’s not guaranteed – We would still recommend you to use the antenna within the power range from our description(100-watt PEP).

  • When should I use the 7MHz coil and when shouldn’t?

When you want to operate on 7MHz the coil will be used, otherwise it shouldn’t be used

  • Why I can’t find 50MHz and 10MHz markings on the telescoping whip?

The 7MHz coil should be used for 7MHz and 10MHz. Frequencies above 14MHz do not require the use of the coil. For more detailed information, please refer to the user manual.

  • Can you please tell me what the collapsed length of the telescoping whip is for your antenna model MC-750?

The extended length of the whip is 5.6m and the collapsed length around 53cm.

  • Can the spike on the MC-705 be swapped out for another mount, like a tripod or clamp?

Yes – The spike and the base(transformer) uses M10 and can be separated. We have also sourced an adaptor to support the antenna. You can find it here

  • What kind of threads are used to connect the antenna to the base?

The base and the black extension tube uses M12, while the other parts uses M10.The reason there’s a difference in the design was to prevent users from putting the 7MHz coil directly into the base by mistake, instead of putting it on top of the extension tube.

  • If I want to operate 80m band, Could I install the 80m coil and 40 coil together for MC-750 ANT? Can installing both together tune to higher frequency/ bands?

For 80m band, only install the 80m coil. It’s enough. Regarding the installation of these two coils together for MC-750, to be honest, we haven’t tried it yet, but everyone can give it a try.

  • What is the difference between MC-750 and JPC-12?

These two products are quite similar in terms of performance. However, there are a few key design differences that distinguish them:

For instance, the MC-750 is full size antenna above 14Mhz and it features banana plugs for connecting radials, while the JPC-12 uses coils for all bands and utilizes a ground net for connections. This means the connection types vary, but the overall performance remains consistent between the two.

Also, The MC-750 has more comprehensive documentation, and you will find numerous positive reviews and instructional videos available online. This could make it easier to understand and use the product effectively.

The JPC-12, however, has an easier carry bag over MC-750 as the size is smaller.

Despite these differences in design and support materials, both products deliver comparable performance. Your choice between the two may ultimately come down to personal preference or specific use cases.

FAQs

What is the best antenna for HF reception? ›

The FMJ, HexTenna, and also the Alpha Loop all have the best HF antenna for a combined result of DX and NVS signal patterns. These three antennas are all portable ham radio antennas, meaning they are designed to be used anywhere. The most efficient and largest antenna is the HexTenna antenna.

Are vertical antennas good? ›

Vertical antennas form a widely used form of radio antenna. Used in a number of specific areas, their properties enable them to provide performance that horizontal or other antennas are unable to provide. There are several different flavours or types of vertical antenna that can be used from LF to HF, VHF and beyond.

How do I make my antenna signal stronger? ›

Here are 10 tips for getting better reception from your OTA antenna.
  1. Adjust The Position. ...
  2. Switch To An Outdoor Or Attic Antenna. ...
  3. Keep The Cable Away From Power Cords. ...
  4. Upgrade Your Cable Splitters. ...
  5. Install An Antenna Rotator.

How do I increase the frequency of my antenna? ›

How to Increase Antenna Gain
  1. Size: Larger antennas can capture more radio waves.
  2. Quantity: Multiple antennas can combine their signals (also known as antenna arraying).
  3. Surface: Reflective surfaces can redirect waves toward the antenna.
  4. Shape: Some antenna types, such as a Yagi antennas, are designed for higher gain.

Is it better to have a horizontal or vertical TV antenna? ›

A horizontally-polarised signal will move sideways, while a vertically-polarised signal will move up and down. Therefore, to receive a horizontally-polarised signal, your TV requires an antenna designed to receive horizontally-polarised signals – it's the same story for vertically-polarised signals.

How high should an HF antenna be? ›

A height of 120 feet or even higher will provide even more advantages for long-distance communications. To a distant receiving station, a transmitting antenna at 120 feet will provide the effect of approximately 8 to 10 times more transmitting power than the same antenna at 35 feet.

Does a vertical antenna need to be grounded? ›

A ½ wavelength base-fed vertical needs only a very modest ground, and a ground rod is adequate. The requirements for various other end-fed antennas depend on their length.

Which antenna is used for HF communication? ›

Normally in HF communication systems Wire antenna with full loop and half-loop antennas configuration are widely used analog with the antenna matching unit, which is a critical part of the system.

What is the most common HF antenna? ›

Top HF Ham Radio Antennas
  1. End Fed Non Resonant. Our first pick is the non-resonant end fed antenna. ...
  2. Wire Dipole. If you polled 100 hams using HF today, I'll bet a majority will tell you that a wire dipole was their first HF antenna. ...
  3. Ham sticks / Trapped Portable Dipoles. ...
  4. Vertical. ...
  5. G5RV.

How long should an HF antenna be? ›

Hence ~74 feet (22.6 m) is a carefully selected non-random length preferred for an HF "random" length antenna. Another favored length is 100 feet (30.5 m).

What is the best height for HF antenna? ›

A height of 120 feet or even higher will provide even more advantages for long-distance communications. To a distant receiving station, a transmitting antenna at 120 feet will provide the effect of approximately 8 to 10 times more transmitting power than the same antenna at 35 feet.
