MegActiv MA305FT Wide Band Active Antenna
Wide frequency range 9kHz – 300MHz
Small dimensions
Dual Power Supply: 5,5V – 15V
Selectable FM band stop filter with low pass function
Ideal for traveling, at home or DX-Camps
IP3:>typ. +30dBm / IP2:>typ. +50dBm
Enlarged and flexible 200mm radiating element
The new MegActiv MA305FT is an evolution of the popular MegActiv MA305. In addition to small improvements in electronics, the new MegActiv MA305FT has been equipped with a switchable FM band-stop filter. Thus, disturbing radiation from the FM band between 88 and 108 MHz can be easily minimized
The new MegActiv MA305FT close the gap between the Boni-Whip and the GigActiv GA3005 E-Field Antennas. This low noise active antenna, which is produced according to the highest standards, covers the frequency range between 9kHz and 300MHz. With a radiating element of only 22 cm / 8,66 inch it can be erected inconspicuously. It can be powered with 5-15 V DC (max.10mA) and alternatively with the supplied Power unit CPI 1500DP via USB.
Flexible FM-band stop filter
Based on the well proven Megactiv platform, an additional low pass filter and a FM-band stop filter were integrated which can be activated or deactivated with a jumper. In case of FM-interferences, the FM bandstop filter can be activated with a jumper and so FM signals between 88 MHz and 108 MHz will be attenuated by 25 – 40 dB.
Flexible power supply
The MegActiv MA305FT can be operated by two different kinds of power sources. It can be powered either by a conventional plug power supply (5,5 / 2,1mm round plug) or via USB with a optional Cable. Powering via USB has the advantage that no external power supply is needed and that the antenna can be operated autonomously and noise-free with a separate USB PowerBank. The supply voltage range is 5 - 15V DC (10mA max) and thus the antenna is also well suited for portable use.

Quote from the review by FenuRadio: (translated)
"The NTi MegActiv is a small receiving antenna with excellent reception performance. The construction proved to be unproblematic, similar to the Boni-Whip. From VLF up on the FM band, the MegActiv receives very well despite their small size. When properly setup it provides a nearly unbeatable signal / noise ratio!"

The Megaloop FX is our latest active loop amplifier for the 9kHz to max. 180MHz range. It combines all the outstanding features of the successful MegaLoop ML 200 and ML 052. Due to its integrated selectable FM band stop filter and the three-step amplification a maximum of flexibility for all kinds of use is possible.
Flexible range of application
This broadband magnetic loop antenna is especially suitable for places with difficult reception due to electrical interferences (E-field) in the near-field area, it is also made for indoor use or on the balcony/patio. You can put it up in the attic, at the window, on the balcony, in the carport fixed to the wall or permanently attached to a mast.
Flexible FM-band stop filter
Based on the well proven MegaLoop platform, an additional low pass filter and a FM-band stop filter were integrated which can be activated or deactivated with a jumper. In case of FM-interferences, the FM bandstop filter can be activated with a jumper and so FM signals between 88 MHz and 108 MHz will be attenuated by 25 - 40 dB.
Flexible three-step amplification
The gain of the MegaLoop FX can be adjusted in three steps by an internal jumper (High/Medium/Low)Frequency response (-3dB) and nominal amplification.
a) FM-band stop off1. High Gain: 9 kHz - 110 MHz and 25 dB gain2. Medium Gain: 9 kHz - 150 MHz and 20 dB gain3. Low Gain: 9 kHz - 180 MHz and 15 dB gain
b) FM- band stop on:1. High Gain: 9 kHz - 52 MHz and 25 db gain2. Medium Gain: 9 kHz - 60 MHz and 20 dB gain3. Low Gain 9 kHz - 66 MHz and 15 dB gain
Flexible loop sizes
The MegaLoop FX makes the most diverse radiating elements possible. As standard, a loop made of flexible PVC-coated and seawater-resistant (V4A) stainless steel wire is available. It comes as a 5m (16,40ft) circumference loop for indoor and portable as well as for outdoor use. Other lengths, such as 10m (32,81ft), are on offer. Even lengths up to 20m (65,62ft) have successfully been tested.
Additionally, an aluminum rigid loop with a diameter of 40 cm or 80 cm is also available. Due to its versatility and adjustment of amplification, there will always be an ideal combination of the loop size and amplification.
Excellent IP values with power supply as low as 5V
With two signals in the 7 MHz range, an excellent IP3 value of typ. +40 dB and a IP 2 value of +85 dBm is achieved with mere 5 V ( max. 40mA) and so the loop can be powered via USB or power bank. A DualPower power inserter (bias tee) supply is included in the standard scope of delivery.
The MegaLoop can be operated by two different kinds of power sources. It can be powered either by a conventional plug power supply (5,5 / 2,1mm round plug) or optional Cable via USB. Powering via USB has the advantage that no external power supply is needed and that the antenna can be operated independently and noise-free with a separate USB PowerBank. The supply voltage range is 5 - 15V DC (40mA max) and thus the antenna is also well suited for portable use.
Integrated threefold surge protection of the active parts
Coarse protection by gas arrester with 60V trigger voltage and a max. pulse leakage current of 1 kA (8/20µs) and by twofold additional integrated fine protection of max. 2 kV and 8 kV respectively. Additionally, the loop connections are connected to ground with high impedance to avoid static charges.
Low shipping costs - no bulky item !
Since the antenna can be shipped as such a small parcel, there will only be standard postage and when ordering a rigid loop of 1m or 2m diameter you will already save about 35,-€ compared to shipping as a bulk item.
Hint: With two suction cups you can attach the MegaLoop antenna to a window at home, in a hotel or when on the road. Because of its flexible loop, transportation is really a piece of cake. In our newsroom test " Design of a really portable SDR Part 2" I simply put the loop over the tailgate of our Caddy and was able to receive signals beautifully.

Boni-Whip Active Antenna 20kHz - 300MHz
Wide frequency range 20 kHz - 300 MHz
Small dimensions
Ideal for traveling, at home or DX-Camps
The BONI-WHIP active antenna replaces the very successful Mini-Whip antenna. Despite its size (only approx. 17 cm long), it renders excellent reception results on longwave, mediumwave and shortwave and additionally for VHF up to 300 MHz. We developed this antenna ourselves and it is built here in Germany, so it really is “Made in Germany” by Bonito. The antenna offers a lot of improvements and better values than the original Mini-Whip. In our newsroom you can see a benchmark test between the Boni-Whip vs. the Mini.Whip: http://newsroom.bonito.net
Even on very low frequencies the Boni-Whip produces very good reception results. It can be used beginning with 20 kHz and is a good choice for listeners who are interested in low frequencies.
We also thought about radio listeners who are interested in high frequencies and extended the range to 300 MHz. Even with only a little effort you can achieve fantastic reception results; and because of its small size, the antenna can be erected inconspicuously.
The active antenna circuitry is cased in a weather resistant box. The voltage supply is delivered by the antenna cable and the included power supply module.
Boni-Whip: As flexible as you
Because of its interchangeable radiating elements (Whips) the Boni-Whip can be used with different elements for experiments. The antenna can thus be adjusted to the surrounding environment or a special reception area.
Customer comment
I have performed extensive outdoor tests on the Boni-Whip at various locations in Germany, Austria, and USA; and even I am amazed that we have produced an antenna with such small size, mobility and excellent performance/price ratio. You will get a noticeably better antenna for almost the same price as the original Mini-Whip.
Boni-Whip: Quality made in Germany
The electronics of the Boni-Whip are manufactured in Germany by an ISO9000-certified assembly company in industrial quality and assembled by us in the Bonito QTH.

What else do i need?
The Boni-Whip shortwave antenna is delivered without a coaxial cable, as everyone needs a different length. We offer you the right coaxial cables such as the H155 or the even better shielded Hyperflex 5 in different lengths. You need two coax cables: A coax cable between the Boni-Whip and the feeder with BNC plugs. In addition, another coaxial cable, from the feed switch (BNC plug) to your receiver.
A stabilized 12V DC transformer power supply (no switching power supply!) Which can deliver approx. 150mA with a 5.5 / 2.1mm barrel connector is required for the power supply.
The mast bracket, which is available in 28mm and 40mm, is useful for mounting on the mast etc.
The OVP1000 surge arrester can also be useful for current weather events.
To protect the BNC connector against weather influences, we offer a self-vulcanizing adhesive tape called NittoTape.
If you want a little more amplification, you can also use the longer and flexible radiator, which brings approx 3 dB more level.
Please note:
The offered coaxial cables are custom-made and cannot be exchanged at a later date!Total length of the cable: cable cut +/- 3% + connector
