Product information "Boni-Whip Active Antenna"
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!
