CPI LABS HF Dipole Antenna Kit is the most advanced product of its kind available. This proprietary design results from years of direct experience with HF manpack antennas and their applications. Durability problems common to other portable antennas have been eliminated.
This
ultra-lightweight, rapid-deployment, tactical antenna is compatible with
all HF manpack radios. It is also suitable for base station use where portability
is desired. Configurations available from this one kit are: Half-wave dipole,
inverted "V," NVIS, sloping dipole, vertical dipole, quarter-wave vertical
with counterpoise, and long-wire with counterpoise. The complete antenna
kit is stored in a ruggedized vinyl carrying bag, complete with belt loops.
The HF-DIP/ANT is supplied complete with ruggedized vinyl carrying bag, center junction, spools containing antenna elements and nylon cord, and coaxial cable. No operator training is necessary. The antenna wire elements are precision calibrated with frequency markers. Both elements are simply unwound to the desired frequency as indicated. The antenna can then be connected to a pole, tree, mast, or building, etc. by means of the supplied nylon support lines and attached throwing weights.
Three different frequency models are offered, all of which provide continuous frequency coverage between 30 Mhz and a lower limit of 1.6, 2 or 3 MHz--depending on model. Special packaging and hardware configurations (e.g. blackened hardware) are available to meet specific customer requirements.
NOTE: These antennas are sold only in bulk quantities
to radio manufacturers and government users.
