AD-457 - is the new full-size antenna for 20, 15 and 10 meters bands. Effective tool for HF radiosport - Contesting and DXing.
It took a lot of time and effort to simulate and optimize the parameters of the antenna, choose the best materials, and test it on the air.
- 4 elements for 20 m, 5 elements for 15 m and 7 elements for 10 m.
- Boom length - 10.3 m.
- Direction patterns of AD-457 are clearly expressed on each band.
- High gain, deep suppression of lateral and rear petals.
- Low SWR in all bands. Full-size elements and a carefully selected optimal distance between them provide a wide band and high efficiency of the antenna.
- Vibrators are connected by a hard line of pipes. Feeding the antenna - one 50-ohm coaxial cable.
- Delivery set includes antenna to mast mounting plate with U-bolts, Т-stand for boom guying with 4 turnbuckles.
- Shipped in two boxes (2005x220x160mm). Weight is 48 kg.
It is recommended to connect coaxial cable through BALUN 1:1.
