[J. Agius]

In genersal, this antenna (Think you meant ARX2B) will work without
radials but if you insist check here.

The Ringo Ranger II has built-in lightning protection, UV-stabilized
insulators,
heavy wall tubing, improved decoupling radials to eliminate feedline
radiation,
and all-weather performance.
Some hams comment
on the ARX2B:
"Since I put this
antenna up I have
received many
compliments on the
improvement of my
signal." (N3LHP)
"The only antenna I
ever installed that worked like it should the first time."
(N7PGH)
"ARX2B is a good antenna for my use on 2 meters
FM...Several on the air in my area." (N9OPL)
"ARX2B...the best antenna." (XE2CLB)

These are the original W1BX FM Ringos. If you want a combination of
compact
size, wide bandwidth, a low radiation angle, these economical antennas
are
just for you. Since radials are not needed, you can even use our Ringos
indoors. Our Ringos are 1/2 wave and include built-in lightning
protection.
Put up one of these easily installed antennas and start enjoying FM!
