Key Features
Broadband Coverage: Each model provides wideband HF coverage, supporting multiple bands, making them perfect for operators who need to switch bands quickly and maintain reliable performance across various frequencies. Please note that a tuner may be required.
Compact and Lightweight: These antennas are designed to be easily deployable and transportable, making them ideal for field operations, camping, and emergency setups.
Power Handling: The BASIC LIMITED EDITION series can handle up to 200W SSB or 100W CW and 50W DIGITAL, providing the power you need for robust communication.
Weather-Resistant Design: Built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, these antennas feature weather-resistant materials and construction, ensuring long-lasting durability.
Impedance Matching: Equipped with a high-quality 5:1 UNUN (unbalanced to unbalanced transformer), these antennas excel at impedance matching. This transformer converts the high impedance of end-fed antennas to 50 ohms, ideal for modern transceivers. By reducing the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR), the 5:1 UNUN maximizes signal strength and efficiency, minimizing power loss and enhancing broadband performance across various frequencies. This ensures optimal power transfer, reduces RF interference, and supports multi-band usage. Constructed with durable, high-grade materials, our 5:1 UNUNs perform reliably in all conditions, delivering stronger, clearer signals and improving both transmission and reception quality.
Easy Installation: The end-fed design allows for flexible installation options, including horizontal, vertical, and sloper configurations. This adaptability ensures you can set up your antenna in almost any environment.
