I produce documentaries, training films, etc. for a living. My profession requires me to travel a lot by truck for work. My Ram 1500 has a Yeasu FT-850D that I use to pass the time. When stopped, I like to deploy a small 2 Meter Yagi on a 16 foot fiberglass pole and do some SSB/CW weak signal stuff from high peaks. Also, some satellite contacts using a dual-band HT, utilizing a 5/8 “Slim Jim” rubber duck for that. 

I’ve been thinking of buying an Elk Antenna to add 432 capability, especially fun during VHF contests and a big improvement for satellites. 

As a secondary hobby, I like to DX NOAA Weather Radio stations at 162.400-162.550 MHz. Can you tell me what the receive frequency range of the antenna is? Would it do a good job of receiving the NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts?
