Aerial Type ?
Anybody know what this is for ?
It was my late Father-in-law's. He was into aircraft, so could be related to plane radio scanner / tracker kit ? or maybe his posh HiFi ?
 
Aerial
He also has something that looks like a piece of white plastic pipe, about 1.5 inch diameter and 6 foot long, with a length of coax coming out of one
end. Can't see inside but looks to have a couple of small PCBs in there. I guess it is also some type of aerial. Any ideas ? (sorry not very
much to go on ! )
Thanks,
Tim.

Yes its for a radio scanner can be used for listening to aircraft radio transmissions for instance.
No idea on the plastic pipe.

thats a discone, multi band receive antenna.
normally used on a multiband scanner.
the other white thing sound like some form of smart tuner, allows u to listern/transmit on different bands as it eletroicly simulates the antenna
electrical lenth.
or it could be for 2.4ghz/12.5ghz (microwave) use for watching/listening to helicopters, wireless cameras.

White plastic tube could be a prototype leaky feeder - I've seen those built into plastic pipes.

my dad has a very locost version of that spikey thing. Basically a special ariel. If you want to give it away i'm sure my old man would use it -
but ebay would be a good place to get rid of it and make some money..
