JPC-12 Portable vertical 7–52 MHz
From the bag to the field station.
BEFORE YOU BUY
Portable vertical antenna with manual adjustment of the multiband coil. The maximum input power is 100 W in SSB. Supplied with ground spike, base with PL/SO-239 socket, radiating elements, 10-wire counterpoise and bag. Ground mounting requires suitable space for the spike and the counterpoise layout.
Description and operating possibilities
The JPC-12 KB2 is a portable vertical for the HF bands from 40 metres upwards and for 6 metres, with a stated range of 7–52 MHz. It is designed for those who want to set up a temporary station during a Field Day or an amateur radio activation, carrying the elements in the included bag.
The heart of the antenna is the adjustable multiband coil with sliding side bar, which lets you select the adjustment point for the desired frequency. Dedicated markings for 40 and 20 metres make it easier to find the reference points when changing band.
Four aluminium extension elements screw together and complete the 2.5 m telescopic whip. Assembled, the JPC-12 reaches a maximum height of 4.10 m; dismantled, the transport length is just 35 cm. Once on site, you can take the components out of the bag, set up the spike and counterpoise and proceed to adjust the vertical.

The HamRadioShop Team's View
The JPC-12 is a practical choice for those who prefer a dismountable vertical with spike and counterpoise already supplied. Its small transport size makes it easy to add to your Field Day kit. Before transmitting, make sure the mounting is stable and check the adjustment on the chosen frequency: the coil markings are useful references but do not replace checking the antenna in its actual configuration.
