If you’ve been considering either the Bonito Boni-Whip<\/a> or MegaLoop NTI ML200<\/a>, you might check out these second-hand units at Universal Radio<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While browsing Universal’s used list<\/a> this morning, I noticed the two Bonito antennas. Both are listed in “good” condition and Universal Radio backs their used equipment with a 60 day limited warranty. The Boni-Whip price is $119.95 and the Mega-Loop $285.95.<\/p>\n

SWLing Post<\/em> contributor,\u00a0Clint Gouveia<\/a>, has been most impressed with the Boni-Whip–check out this recent review with videos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I was mighty<\/em> tempted to purchase this used Boni-Whip, but I’ve been so busy on the road lately, I haven’t even had an opportunity to put Steve Yothment’s homebrewed mini-whip antenna on the air and I’ve had it since early March!<\/p>\n

The Megaloop ML200 is a very portable magnetic loop antenna. \u00a0I’ve used one on a couple of occasions and really appreciated the noise rejection. It’s much easier to pack than a loop with a rigid antenna element.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

$295.95 is a great price for the ML200 which typically sells for 369 EUR via Bonito in Germany.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
