- length of arms approx. 7+14 m, tuning by length at the mounting point
- antenna wire according to the selected variant
- unun 1:6
- power load up to 1 kW PEP (SSB 1 kW / CW 500 W / DIGI 300 W)
- power compensated for use in contests
- large ferrite toroid 1x FT-240
- mechanical design for hanging by rope
- PL input connector (UHF)
- antenna radiators are connected to M4 screws and secured with wing nut
- fasteners are stainless steel
- box dimensions 105x105x60 mm
- weight according to the selected antenna cable
- attachment for hanging
- the box has IP-65 protection

The antenna should be supplemented with a Link Insulator, connected as close as possible to the antenna.
This will prevent shell currents and interference (RFI).

Depending on the specific mounting design, the use of an antenna tuner on some bands should be considered. The quality of the ground, surrounding objects and environment, the height of the ends of the radiator, the shape of the radiator extension (horizontal, angled, cranked, etc.) have an influence.
Optimal mounting conditions are: horizontal at least 10m high, powered by a coaxial cable of the length of the impedance repeater on the lowest band used. Impedance repeater = ½ lambda x truncation factor (for the specific cable used)

The unun box can be fitted with a pressure valve at extra cost.
Function of the pressure valve - if the instrument box is subjected to temperature changes - e.g. difference in day and night temperatures or if heat is generated in the box during operation and the box cools down after operation - pressure changes and condensation of water vapour occur in the sealed box.
In some cases, a vacuum may even be created, which can cause dust and moisture to enter.
Installing a valve with a pressure balancing function is a very simple way to provide ventilation and at the same time prevent vapour condensation and dust from entering the enclosure.
If you are interested in installing a pressure equalizing valve, add the valve offered above in the related products to your cart. The extra charge is the price of the valve.

Attach the coaxial cable to the balun so that it does not hang by its own weight on the connector.
