THE TITAN DX
Your latest requests have been for an antenna that's easy to setup,
needs no radials, covers 10m-80m in addition to all the WARC bands and
uses the same GAP technology found in our other products. In response to
these requests GAP is proud to announce the newest addition to the
family, the Titan.
The Titan is a center fed GAP vertical, that provides a host of
benefits in a rugged, yet manageable form. The Titan offers broad,
continuous frequency coverage in a no tune, easy to assemble format.
Designed to work in a limited space or as the perfect compliment to an
antenna farm.
One of the primary virtues of the Titan is the GAP center feed. By
elevating the feed the earth loss is dramatically decreased, which means
the RF is going out to make the contact instead of into the ground to
warm the earth. Reducing the earth loss eliminates the need for a radial
system. The Titan requires NO RADIALS.
Another key benefit the Titan provides is the ability to go virtually
anywhere in the HF amateur spectrum, at anytime without having to make
any adjustments. The Titan is the ONLY antenna marketed with total
continuous coverage under 2:1 on 10m 12m 15m 17m 20m 30m 40m and 100 KHz
on 80m. Titan's broad bandwidth and no tune feature make it an ideal
antenna for getting those multipliers during contests or switching
frequencies as band conditions change.
The Titan is a respectable 25' tall and weighs a solid 25 pounds. The
Titan is configured to mount easily on a 11/4" O.D. mast. This mast
can be a length of your choosing and since the feedpoint is elevated
this mast can be as short as a foot.
The first 8' of the antenna is comprised of double wall tubing and
where the Titan mounts to the mast the antenna is triple wall! Which
means guys are not a necessity.
