The G5RV antenna is a unique all band antenna.  It consists of a 102 foot flat top
plus 34 feet of 450ohm ladder line.  In this instance, the ladder line is an active
part of the antenna and radiates RF.  Because of this, it must be fully extended
and can not contact the earth or run parallel to metallic objects.   Coax is attached
at the end of the ladder line.  Most modern radios with an internal antenna tuner
can accommodate this antenna and provide a good match on all bands from 80-10M
EXCEPT the 30M band.

Thanks to Dan Harlow

Heil Boomset
BM-10-6

The 1985 Navassa Island DX-pedition Team invited Bob Heil to design an ultra-lightweight headset, one with a boom mic that would really cut through the QRM. The BM-10 was the result of that project; over twenty years later, it has been improved. This new BM-10-6 has the new HC-6 element in it and has been in design and tested on the air for an additional two years to perfect it.

Heil Foot switch

The Heil FS-2 is a unique product specially designed for controlling two devices simultaneously. A typical application would be to key a transceiver with the BLACK lead and an RF power amplifier with the RED lead. Because of the design architecture, the micro-switch controlling the RED lead keys up first as the foot switch is depressed, thus the RED lead turns on before the BLACK lead thus insuring that the amplifier is keyed first before drive is applied from the transceiver that keys up last in the sequence.

Handi mic PRO dash mount

For years, Bob Heil has been working on a solution to an all-too-common problem in today's mobile rigs: muffled, hollow-sounding audio. With the introduction of the Handi Mic, the solution is at hand!
