Quansheng T‑Type Ferrite Rod Magnetic Bar Antenna for TK11 Series Radios

• Custom designed T‑Type magnetic bar (ferrite rod) antenna for Quansheng TK11, TK11‑5 and TK‑11(8) two way radios.
• Optimized for HF / AM / MW / SW reception, ideal for broadcast listening and HF exploration on wideband‑receive TK11 series radios.
• Plug‑and‑play SMA connection, no external power or tools required.
• Compact, lightweight design that mounts directly on the radio without affecting normal VHF/UHF transmission.
• Perfect accessory for users who want to unlock the full 0.153–1160 MHz receive range of the TK11 series with better low‑frequency performance.

The Quansheng T‑Type Magnetic Bar Ferrite Antenna is a dedicated receive accessory for the TK11, TK11‑5 and TK‑11(8) two way radios. These radios offer wideband receive coverage from 0.153 MHz up to 1160 MHz, allowing users to listen to HF, AM broadcast, shortwave, airband and more on a single handheld device.

Standard whip antennas shipped with most handheld radios are designed primarily for VHF and UHF transmission and reception. At lower frequencies (LF, MF and HF), their efficiency is limited. This T‑Type ferrite rod magnetic bar antenna is engineered specifically to improve low‑frequency and HF reception, making it an ideal choice for users who want to:

• Listen to AM broadcast (MW) and shortwave (SW) stations
• Explore long‑distance HF signals on the TK11 series’ wideband receive function
• Enhance general HF sensitivity and signal‑to‑noise ratio on their handheld

Optimized for Wideband Receive TK11 Series

The Quansheng TK11 family (including TK11‑5 and TK‑11(8)) supports multi‑band transmit and wideband receive from 0.153–1160 MHz, covering 10 m, 6 m, 4 m, 2 m, 70 cm and more, as well as FM broadcast and other services. This T‑Type magnetic bar antenna takes advantage of that wideband capability by providing:

• Stronger magnetic coupling to low‑frequency signals (LF/MF/HF)
• Improved AM and SSB monitoring in the HF spectrum
• Better audio clarity on weak broadcast stations compared with a typical rubber duck antenna

T‑Type Ferrite Design

A ferrite rod (magnetic bar) antenna is highly sensitive to the magnetic component of radio waves, which is especially useful at lower frequencies. The T‑Type layout positions the ferrite bar horizontally, helping to maximize the effective capture area while keeping the antenna assembly compact and balanced on top of the radio.

Easy Installation & Compatibility

This antenna is built for direct use with Quansheng TK11, TK11‑5 and TK‑11(8) handheld radios that feature an SMA antenna connector. Installation is simple:

• Power off the radio
• Remove the original VHF/UHF whip antenna
• Screw on the T‑Type Magnetic Bar Ferrite Antenna onto the SMA connector

Once attached, you can immediately begin monitoring HF, AM, MW and SW signals using your radio’s wideband receive modes. When you need to transmit on VHF/UHF, you can switch back to the stock antenna or your preferred dual/quad‑band antenna for the best performance on those bands.

Ideal For

• Radio amateurs experimenting with HF reception on a compact handheld
• Shortwave and AM broadcast listeners who own a Quansheng TK11 series radio
• Users wanting a simple, portable solution to improve low‑frequency receive performance without carrying a separate HF receiver

Add this Quansheng T‑Type Magnetic Bar Ferrite Antenna to your TK11, TK11‑5 or TK‑11(8) and get more out of the radio’s wideband receive capability with noticeably better AM/MW/SW reception.
