FEATURES
The 2M5-440XP is ideal for linking repeaters and remote bases utilizing
both 2 meters and 440MHz. Elements are cross polarized to avoid the
severe performance compromises on 440 MHz common to other dual band
antennas that have all elements in the same polarity. The XP also workds
well on the OSCAR frequencies and is handy wherever dual band capability
and compact size are required. Recently, with PACKET users finding
horizontal poliazation better on 2 meteres, it has become even more
useful.
Construction is designed for long term mechanical and electrical
integrity. The heart of this antenna is CNC-machined driven element
block. Connectors are O-Ring sealed and the internal connections are
encapsulated in a space-age silicone gel with nearly 4 times the
dielectric strength of air. Balun connectors are triple sealed and
nut-sealed at the block connectors. Elements are 3/16 6061-T6 alminum
rod, centered through the boom on UV stabilized insulator buttons. All
hardware except U-bolts is stainless steel (S.S. nuts and lockwashers
are supploed for them, too). |
