Marine AntennasGP 160 5/8

⅝ λ Ground-Plane Base Station and Marine Antenna for the 2 m Band

Description

  • The antenna is tunable (by cutting the radiator) within the frequency band 145…175 MHz.
  • GP 160 5/8 is a very sturdy construction which can stand mounting under extreme conditions. It is well suited for mounting on fishing vessels etc. and a good choice for base stations in the land mobile field.
  • GP 160 5/8 is a 1 dBd, vertically polarised omnidirectional base station and marine antenna.
  • The antenna is delivered adjusted to 145 MHz unless otherwise specified. It may, however, be delivered preadjusted for the maritime VHF band provided this is stated on the purchase order.
  • GP 160 5/8 is DC-grounded and antistatically protected as all metal parts are ground-connected. Consequently, the antenna shows a DC-short across the coaxial cable.
  • The materials used are glass fibre and chromed brass.
