Flexible Design:
Unlike Yagi designs, the LP design has more useful lobes to
the sides and back. This gives the antenna a better 360 degree
omni ability, with the added benefit of gain in the direction
it's aimed. Why use a unity gain discone or ground plane, when
you can have omni ability and directional gain as well with
the LP.
Top Performance:
The wide-band Log Periodic design is simply the best performance
you can get for general scanning. No other design will do
better.
Wide Coverage:
This antenna is optimized for use in the 118 to 1000 MHz range,
which makes it good for all-around scanner use. Other bands
can be received as well.
Wide Bandwidth:
The nature of the LP design offers a wide bandwidth. Not only
is it wide in the band it was designed to operate in, but
it also does pretty well in nearby bands. This will help if
there's other bands you're interested in.
Solid Construction:
The antenna is constructed of twin 3/4" square aluminum
tube for the booms, and solid 1/4" aluminum round is
used for the elements. The boom is very stiff, as are the
elements. 1/4" stainless bolts and lock nuts are utilized,
not flimsy dimple rivets. The entire antenna is carefully
hand crafted and all aluminum is given a brushed finish.
Weather Resistant:
All fasteners are stainless steel and UV resistant cable clips
are used to hold the coax to the boom.
High Quality N Connector:
Instead of the usual UHF connector that's included with
most antennas, this antenna includes a 50 ohm female N connector.
N connectors are more water resistant and handle high frequencies
better. Need help choosing your main cable? Checkout the Coax
FAQ
Horizontal Mount:
A horizontal mast piece consisting of aluminum plate is included
with the antenna. This acts as a stand-off and allows the the
antenna to be positioned away from your mast in free space and
vertical polarization.
Electrically Isolated:
The antenna is electrically isolated from the horizontal and
vertical masts.
Mounting Hardware:
The necessary hardware for attaching the antenna to any standard
1 1/4" steel mast is also included. Just prepare your
mast and you're all set to go.
Only Partial
Assembly Required: The boom is completely
assembled, along with the feeder cable and mount. The only
things that need to be done yourself are attaching the elements,
and putting up a mast.
TESTIMONIALS
"I just put up one of DPD productions
new 118-1000 MHz LP antennas. This is one great antenna for
the money. Great looks and very easy to put together. Performance
wise from 30-860 MHz... excellent. I pick up low band state
police just as good as a discone. VHF air... fantastic...
able to hear controllers and planes on the ground. UHF air
just as good. 860 MHz trunking... great. As far as other freqs...
VHF high, UHF, VHF low... really good. If you are looking
for a real good LP but don't want to break the bank, check
out this antenna."
John H. - Timonium, MD
"What I do know is that my recent antenna
upgrade to a DPD Productions Scanner LP Model Antenna is AWESOME
for working CG Sector SFO. The LP Model definitely out performs
my old RS Discone. With the Discone I could "hear"
Sector, but NOT the CG Stations in the Bay area, like I can
now, with the LP. The audio with the LP Model as compared
to the Discone, is like the difference in picture quality
between analog and HD on your TV."
Bill T. - Rancho Cordova, CA
"I just wanted to first thank you for
making a great antenna. I own and work with a scantenna and
was very skeptical in purchasing one of your antennas. After
reading reviews on Radio Reference and looking at photos of
the antenna construction I was convinced. I have purchased the
118-1000 MHz Scanner LP Model Antenna and I will say I have
not been disappointed. I didn't think that anything could come
close to the scantenna, but it has."
Bret E. - Braham, MN
"It's excellent! I really, really like
this thing. It's just as they describe on the site. There's
good all around omni coverage with good gain to the front. Another
thing that surprised me is the good high frequency response.
I'm sitting here with two radios tuned to a very distant 800
Mhz system. One is on the DPD the other is on the RFS 1610-1
4 dbd gain omni. The omni is about four or five feet lower than
the DPD but they are both performing the same. That really shocked
me. I was expecting the commercial antenna to really outshine
the DPD even though it's a bit lower in elevation. So far, VHF
and UHF have been outstanding too. It's nice to have good performance
across ALL the bands. Usually you find a spot where things kind
of degrade but so far all ranges seem to be equally good. I
was really impressed with the build quality. I didn't realize
it has solid elements. That's a nice feature. It just feels
like you actually have something of quality when you get it
together instead of the pop can aluminum you get with other
stuff."
Casey C. - Ottawa, KS
"I bought one of these a couple of weeks
ago, so far it is amazing! I don't even look at the signal meter
anymore because it is always five bars. I am using FreeScan
to log hits and the RSSI meter is average 700-800. There is
very little fuzz on some channels but for the most part, no
fuzz at all. Is this the best antenna for all scanners? For
me right now... Yes! This is far and away better than anything
I've tried with other antennas. I really like the fact that
no matter what I want to listen to (Fire/Police/air/Military/etc.)
I can with this antenna. I could go into details about bands
and results but no need, they all work just great. My most distant
catch was an aircraft over 100 miles north of me. What else
is there I really like this antenna!"
Don S. - Henderson, NV
"Recently, I purchased your log periodic
scanner antenna which I have put up on my tower with my amateur
antennas. It is working out beautifully. Having it up high,
with some directional capability and wide frequency coverage,
has made all the difference in hearing stations I cannot hear
on my roof-mounted Austin Ferret. The build quality is terrific
and it was a cinch to put together. I like it so much that I
just placed an order for your military air band log periodic.
I plan to dedicate a scanner or two to military aircraft listening
and will use the new log for that."
Don Y. - Dix Hills, NY
"I don't write many reviews. I don't thank many for their products. I just purchase them, use them, like them, or never use them again. But I wanted to drop you a line and let you know that I am truly impressed and happy with your antenna. I've been enjoying the scanner hobby since I was 7 years old when Dad bought me my first Regency 4 channel crystal type scanner. At 46, I'm still loving it, always trying new antennas, radios and 'goodies'. This is the FIRST antenna that I have literally, seen NIGHT AND DAY results!"

Flexible Design:
The new UHF LP Plus model, replaces the old UHF (only)
LP model. The new 'Plus' model was designed in direct response to people's requests for an antenna that can focus on hunting down distant UHF systems, but also give basic performance on other bands as well. The UHF section is a directional LP design and duplicates our old UHF model. Unlike
Yagi designs, the LP design has more useful lobes to the sides
and back. This gives the antenna a better 360 degree omni ability,
with the added benefit of gain in the direction it's aimed.
Then comes the 'plus' part... There's an added VHF section that's tuned for basic 150-175 MHz omni performance as well. If you don't need VHF, there's also an extra set of short UHF elements you can use for added 700-950 omni coverage. The UHF Plus LP can also make a good railroad voice/ATCS
monitoring antenna.
Customization Potential: The VHF omni elements can be completely left off if you desire, with no effect on the UHF section. A second optional set of short UHF elements are included, which you can choose to substitute for the VHF elements in the rear position, if you're just looking for added omni ability on UHF. There's also the possibility of offering a custom omni ability on this antenna, other than 150-175 MHz... such as VHF Air or other bands. You can email us to inquire about that.
Wide Coverage:
This antenna is optimized for use in the 700 to 950 MHz range,
which makes it a good choice for all the new trunking/digital
systems in use today. The VHF omni section still allows you to have good performance there as well.
Wide Bandwidth:
The nature of the LP design offers a wide bandwidth. Not only
is it wide in the band it was designed to operate in, but
it also does pretty well in nearby bands. This will help if

TESTIMONIALS
(Includes old UHF LP model)
"I received my DPD productions LP 700-1000
MHz antenna today and all I can say is WOW! First of all, thanks
Dave! This is one well crafted antenna. A snap to put together
and very well built. An absolute bargain if you ask me. I've
mounted it up in the attic on a 5 foot PVC mast and I'm feeding
it with 50 feet of LMR-400. For the first time ever, I'm receiving
our local 700MHz P25 simulcast sites without a single issue.
Everything in my area is either 700 P25 or 800 P25 with a few
800 EDACS systems. All are crystal clear. I'm even picking up
a few sites that I wasn't able to even come close to receiving
prior to putting this bad boy up."
Paul S. - Lakewood, CO
"Decided to hook up the scanner just to
see how well your UHF LP performs compared to the old K-Town
which has never been beat. Here are the stats for comparison:
K-Town 60' high on tower with 80' RG6 low loss, 20db pre-amp
vs. UHF LP held in my hand pointed out bedroom window, which
is about 15' above ground and shooting through 1,500 70' Oak
trees, with 80' LMR 400 coiled up, hooked 20 db pre-amp in line.
Results: At 800 Mhz digital signals UHF LP is clear winner!
It was picking up public safety strongly from as far as 60 air
miles away through the trees! On 2-Meter FM analog public safety,
K-Town slightly better, but UHF LP picked up all the same channels
with some signal loss. I can't wait to get the UHF LP up on
the tower now. Good job! One side note: No antenna, including
the K-Town has ever picked up 800 Mhz signals from my bedroom
window before."
Russell J. - East Bethel, MN
"I just received my 700-1000mhz LP several
days ago and finally put it up on 1" sch 40 electrical
pvc and it's working wonders for me. I'm receiving the Tacoma
Public Safety trunk from my home which is 30+ miles away. I
couldn't get this at all with my RS discone antenna."
Nick C. - Bellevue, WA
"I received my antenna Monday and put
it up the same day. The antenna works great. In fact, this is
the first time since the Sheriffs Office has gone to the digital radio system
that I have been able to listen to the scanner without garble
and missing parts of the transmission. My scanner operates 24/7
and is never off, and I would recommend this antenna to
anyone if they are having problems receiving signals. I
live in a valley and have my antenna 30 feet off the ground
and I am about 25 miles from the transmitting antenna."

Multi Band-Wide Coverage:
The uniquely designed OmniX is tuned to multiple bands,
giving it wide frequency coverage. Unlike antennas that
were originally designed for the ham bands and then marketed
as a scanner antenna, the OmniX was specifically designed
for scanner radio use and tuned to popular commercial
and civil service bands. Elements are specifically tuned
for 118-137 MHz, 148-175 MHz and 225-900 MHz, but other
bands can be received as well. This antenna can be quite
esthetically pleasing compared to discones and it's also
more efficient.

TESTIMONIALS
"Just a note to let you know how extremely satisfied
I am with my purchase of the OmniX Multi Band Scanner Antenna.
I ordered it on a Sunday, it arrived on a Wed... 3-day service,
outstanding. I installed it today and it is a superb antenna.
I am impressed with its assembly, good looks and terrific
performance. The improvement on my scanners and wide band
radios is dramatic compared to the antenna I was using.
Thanks for a great product and great service."
Tom O. - Longmont, CO
"Antenna received! Great service and great quality
product! It's too cold here to be outside installing antennas, so
it's just leaning against the wall in the corner of
my office, and yet it still adds an extra couple of
bars on signal strength. Impressive antenna."
Richard T. - Winnipeg, MB
"Just a quick note to say thank you. I purchased an Omni-X from you months ago, and finally installed it today. The antenna and instructions are first class and it's already out-performing the 20-176 it replaced and the ST-2 it sits just above... and I'm sure it will outlast them both in our high-wind installation. I'm picking up things I've never heard before."
Bill C. - Harveys Lake, PA
"I have the OmniX setup in my attic. Much better reception than my previous antenna, including 800 Mhz. Very happy!"
John M. - Wayside, NJ
"I received my order and I'm very happy with it. I'm using it inside at this time, but will be mounting outside soon. It's well made and seems to work very well. Thanks for the good service and a very good product."

Enclosed Elements: The
actual antenna elements and feed point are sealed inside
a UV resistant plastic radome. No need to worry about
corrosion on the elements with this design.
Weather Resistant: Having
the elements and feed point sealed in the radome allows
the antenna to be very resistant to weather and other
environmental damage. This antenna is strong enough to
withstand an ice storm, and will also do well in a shoreline
environment.
Copper Elements:
Elements are copper clad, which is a better element material
than stainless steel.
Narrow Bandwidth:
The bandwidth for the antenna is fairly narrow, which
can help to eliminate intermod problems from adjacent
strong signals in urban areas.
High Quality N Connector:
Instead of the usual UHF connector that's included
with most antennas, this antenna includes a 50 ohm female
N connector, on the end of a small cable pigtail. N connectors
are more water resistant and handle high frequencies better.

Unique Design:
This antenna is designed for anyone who's interested in getting
good performance on their scanner or radio, but isn't able to
use an outdoor antenna. This is a great antenna for people who
live in apartments or condos. The Blade can also be used as
a travel antenna, or even outdoors for short periods of time.
Tuned to NOAA Weather Band:
Each antenna is tuned to the VHF NOAA
Weather Radio Band on 162 MHz. This antenna can improve
performance on any radio that receives the NOAA Weather Station
Broadcasts, and has an external antenna input.
Ready Made: There's no
assembly necessary and 18 feet of coax (with BNC connector)
is included. (Email
to possibly request other connector types.)
Easy to Position: The beauty
of the way this antenna works, is the fact that you can position
it anywhere. Unlike using a rubber duck, you can find the one
good spot in the room that gets the best reception, but still
put the radio anywhere you like. This can also be helpful if
you're trying to move the antenna away from RF producing devices.
There's also no ground plane elements sticking out to poke you.
The antenna can easily be hung using the two loops on the back.
Unobtrusive:
The Blade design is very slim and stealthy. The antenna is only
1 1/4" wide and a mere 3/8" deep. It can easily be
hidden behind blinds, but is also attractive enough to be displayed
in clear view. The antenna's bright white enclosure blends right
into the surroundings.
Copper Elements: Elements
are copper clad, which is a better element material than stainless
steel.
Narrow Bandwidth: The bandwidth
for the antenna is fairly narrow, which can help to eliminate
intermod problems from adjacent strong signals in urban areas.
18' of RG8/X Cable: This
cable is better for longer lengths than the average off brand
RG58 cable included with most antennas (if any), and helps prevent
signal loss.
Direct Feed Point Connection:
The coax is directly connected to the antenna elements, which
means there's one less connector between your radio and the
antenna. Each additional connector can create signal loss.
