The Deshibo WV-601 is a passive, wideband loop receiving antenna built for serious monitoring across an exceptionally broad frequency span. It’s a strong match for SDR receivers, shortwave/“world” radios, and scanners—delivering a practical, portable setup with no external power required.

Designed for fast “plug & listen” operation, the WV-601 covers everything from LW/MW/SW up to VHF/UHF, and it also supports low-power transmitting on VHF/UHF amateur bands within the manufacturer’s stated limits.
