If you buy a chinese Mini-Whip antenna , be careful when you want to connect it to your receiver, there are BIAS-T PCB sold with a design fault, and these BIAS-T PCB can blow-up your receiver! These mini-Whip antenna's are sold on AliExpress, Banggood, Ebay....

Thank you very much
Very informative video - will give this a try. Next time, please don't bother with the music...
How to vary the gain on these?
This only decodes the upper beacon though? What about the center beacon?
Hola , que valor tiene c3 por favor . Tengo uno de esos y esta para reparar pero no se e los valores de esos condensadores . Saludos 73
Can use it with lora rf module
Miniwhip is a PROBE for electric field, not an antenna
The generic Chinese ones are Okay for broadcast listening. But they are considerably noisier than the PA0RDT whip, for example. All mini-whips are poor, relative to a good quality amplified loop system such as the WellGood (not WellBrook, which is no longer made).
😀Combien comporte t'elle de tours au "primaire" ( accord) et au "secondaire" ( réception ) s'il vous plait ?
Très belle remise en état!
I have mine on order, let's see if 2 years laterthey still have these problems.
Beautiful music and a very nice Level Meter.
Why though
Useful to know. Mine arrived in the post today. After watching your video, I checked C3 and fortunately there's no short-circuit!
Hi do you think Jfet and 2N3866 are fake ? Ps about SPM3 it needs demodulator or simple audio amplifier ?? thanks
Typically, there's a gain block IC, like ADL5544. If chinese guys made PCB layout without mistakes, and took not so shitty FR-4 - everything must be ok, in range of datasheet values of course.
Do you think the RF amp IC of these chinese boards is actually an ADL5544 or clone?
Bom dia. Excelente estabilidade. Poderia me passar o esquema?
Gain is in dB not dBm!
Signal Strenght Is Mesured With dBm
Thanks so much for the information.I'm gonna fix mine too .
Hello pls give me code and схему
Whats the tune thats playing. Real good bass
Worden deze amplifiers heel warm?
Hello, do you use a coupling loop, or goes the wire to the capacitor, and from the capacitor direct to the receiver, 73 Martin oe3mcc
I had the same question. It looks like the receiver is coupled in parallel with the LC tuned circuit. If so, the receiver input capacitance will add to the tuning capacitance, and its resistive component will reduce the Q factor. Probably I will experiment also with a couping loop or a tap on the main loop.

Excellent Chinese engineering!Cheap+fast=it won't be good!
that audio has to go I'd love to watch but i can't listen to a 1980's casio digital wrist watch alarm any more
Thank you. Very interesting
Thanks a lot for the video. I don't have SMD capability. Will go to a mobile repair shop to get the trace cut...
EXCELENT My friend! Just one question, that particular RF POWER AMPLIFIERS what transistors does it employ? Greetings from Argentina
The silicon devices are sold as RF gain blocks or MMICs Many manufacturers sell them - check Mouser for example. Typical mfr Minicircuits, Nxp, Renestas. The will be hard to get in one off qty at a reasonable price. They are not a true R power amplifier.. they won't produce 10 mW out or anything like that. Beware the 1 W or 500 mW type Chinese boards - nearly all of them a are class C amplifiers and will work for CW or FM but won't work for SSB or AM - so useless for HF Ham radio (aside from frequency/design issues).
Why the music?

Hello vlf brain amplifier antenna 5$ , 1khz to 30mhz..
Hi 👋 I have an adc module with 50 ohm input impedance it says it's input voltage should be below 5v p-p if I use an amplifier with 5v supply like lna moduls before my adc should I use attenuator before my adc???
Bin the Music
only 21dB gain for this 2stage? Goes into compression with -20dBm input i guess. Better measure again with -40dBm input.
nice video , thanks for that :)
Interesting CubeSAT. Would be interesting to host a CW repeater. - KD0MOO
Just measured my other 10watt 40dbm and that was 100 ohms
just measured mine that I just received. Mine is 95 ohms supposed to be 40dbm 10watts on my sticker
you can only insert inline in one direction only????
you need to terminate the attenuator output with 60 ohms before you measure the input.
Why 60 and not 50 Ohms?
oops 50
I had the J FET fitted the wrong way round on mine and the PCB track issue .Does anyone know if this should be mounted on a metal or Plastic pole when mounting outside?. Thanks
Based on PA3FWM's posted essay titled "Fundamentals of the MiniWhip antenna," a miniwhip antenna can be mounted on a well-grounded metal pole or on a plastic pipe if the coax shield is well-grounded. Good grounding is very important. A "dirty" ground inside the radio shack is not good enough. See the essay online for details.
It is unfortunate that the junk still seems to flow from the trash bins onto the market, but at the prices paid, you can recycle the parts into something usable, in most cases. I have rebuilt several mystery devices into usable pads and terminations over the years, and the sad part is, I should have labeled them better. Markers seem to fade and rub off over time, and if you don't use them often, you can forget what they were originally for! Now that I have a sensitive VNA and Spectrum Analyzer, having a good attenuator to protect the input from too much power is very important! And I am glad I never threw away the ones that were out of spec, but saved them for their parts!
Very good reception, the VLF-band can perfectly be used for classic rock and experimental electronic music, such as pling plong electronic kraut rock.
Hi I had the Same issue After removing C3 I found the not cut trace, too. But After the fix I lost the Part and now I need to know what it is and what value it has
1 to 2 uF will work fine and allow reception down to LF.
have you a manual in English ?
Silent movie 🙂
Hi,this pegelmesser needs a demodulator to receive vlf signal ? thanks
No, it has an audio output you can connect to an audio amplifier / speaker etc.
Same thing here, thanks for advices.
