All Band Low VSWR, Please see the SWR chart included in photos using 18 feet of RG213 and a RigExpert AA-170 Analyzer. 50 ohm great match antenna for your Solid state, SDR or Tube final Transceiver. Covers the entire frequency spectrum from below 160 meters through 6 meters with no tuning or adjusting the antenna. It will handle 1600 watts PEP or 400 watts CW/AM without issues. Great for DX and Local communications. Easy set up about 10 minutes or so with a crescent wrench and a screwdriver. If you want to go portable just collapse it down and throw it in the back of your truck, it is 43" tall when collapsed. The initial set up is that you take it out of the box and fit the vertical elements, tighten the clamps, mount it on your support mast up to 1-3/4 inches in diameter, connect any length of your coaxial cable of RG8 , RG213, LMR400, RG8X or equivalent and you are done! No Tuning or adjustments needed for this antenna! Covers 160m, 80m,75m, 60m,40m,30m,20m,17m,15m,12m,11m,10m,6m, And everything in between!!
Low VSWR. No complicated add ons, No tuners, No ground radials, No Baluns, No Traps, No coils or taps to mess with, no adjustments needed. I have worked many DX and US stations with this antenna! IT works very Well! It's perfect to keep you on the air during all kinds of weather. Use it as your primary antenna as I do! Just a good antenna to keep you on all bands at all times. Great back up for emergencies!! Great for restricted space situations.
This is fully compatable with all radios from the tube type of the 1930's to todays CPU 2017 solid state radios and FLEX-5000™ Software Defined Radios as stated from a happy customer.
. Marine Radios as well, No ground radials required as it has an Internal built in Current path! Note: This may not out perform a Full Sized 1/4 or 1/2 wave perfectly tuned mono-band vertical tuned at that band with a good ground radial system. This antenna is about convenience and ease of use and will perform very well with good all band broad band matching without a tuner or ground radials. As with all verticals, this one will also work better with a good ground system for added performance.
The design of this antenna has an Excellent Signal to noise ratio and greatly reduces man made and terrestrial electrical interference so you can hear the weak signals where you could not before.
Antenna is Guaranteed for 1 year from defective materials and workmanship.
Please ask any and all questions you may have, I will answer truthfully.
