Ground Plane AntennasGP 450

¼ λ Ground-Plane Antenna for the 450 MHz Band

Description

  • GP 450/... is a ground-plane antenna of the triple-leg type.
  • The antenna is delivered in two models tunable over the ranges 380…430 MHz (l) and 420…470 MHz (h), respectively, by adjusting the length of the radiator.
  • The cutting diagram on the diagrams tab indicates how long the radiator must be corresponding to a specific centre frequency. The radiator is measured from its free end (excl. top knob) to the bottom of the black insulator. Do not cut the radials – they should be left untouched.
  • GP 450/... comprises a GP-head, one radiator and threeradials – all made of chromed brass.
  • GP 450/... is made of first-class materials and will endure “wear and tear” for years – no maintenance required.
  • LW-SS-1" mounting bracket and GP Adapor is available as accessories.
