The MFJ-1622 Apartment Antenna is a versatile option that covers a wide range of frequencies from 40 through 2 Meters. It offers the flexibility of mounting outdoors on windows, balconies, and railings, as well as indoors on desks, tables, and bookshelves. This antenna allows for operation on HF from 40 to 10 Meters and on VHF for 6 and 2 Meters using a single antenna, making it a convenient choice for various bands. The universal mount/clamp feature enables easy attachment to different surfaces, such as window frames and balconies, providing adaptability for different setups.

Despite not being a five-element yagi, the MFJ-1622 Apartment Antenna boasts high efficiency with its air wound 'bug catcher' loading coil and a telescoping 5 1/2 foot radiator. This design allows for effective transmission and reception, ensuring reliable communication. The collapsible radiator can be reduced to 2 1/2 feet for convenient storage and portability, making it suitable for stationary and on-the-go use. Additionally, the antenna comes equipped with essential components, including a coax RF choke balun, coax feed line, counterpoise wire, and safety rope, offering a complete solution for installation and operation.

Operating the MFJ-1622 Apartment Antenna is straightforward. Frequency adjustments are made by moving the 'wander lead' on the coil and optimizing the counterpoise for the best Standing Wave Ratio (SWR). This user-friendly approach allows quick setup and tuning, ensuring optimal performance across the supported frequency range. Whether used indoors or outdoors, this antenna provides a reliable solution for amateur radio enthusiasts looking to maximize their communication capabilities across different bands.
