2m 5Element Rear Mount Antenna 2m5WR 144-146MHz

Fine gain and F/B 2m 5Element Rear Mount Antenna 2m5WR horizontal or vertical polarization Yagi antenna. Good to put on the balcony for DX-ing or FM simplex in vertical polarization. Versions up to 145MHz for DXing, 146MHz for FM and DXing, and 148MHz USA. In contests good to put 4 or 8 antennas on the side of the tower for the fixed direction. A strong “Goliath” bracket will assure a stable position in any direction.

Could be produced in several versions:

• SKU: 0520 2m5WR 144-146MHz. For FM simplex, repeaters, and Dxing
• SKU: 0522 2m5DXR 144-145MHz. For DXing. Excellent for 2m contests as stack antenna with wide azimuth angle
• SKU: 0524 2m5WideR 144-148MHz. Wideband Region 2 USA version. Whole band.
• SKU: 0530 2m5WRV 144-146MHz. Vertical polarization, for FM simplex, repeaters

Antennas-Amplifiers Product Benefits. A Major advance in Amateur Radio antenna design.

 

• F/B and G/T superiority.

All antennas have been calculated using state-of-the-art full 3D Electromagnetic Simulation Software including the influence of the boom, bracket, baluns, and connectors. The performance of antennas designed using these techniques is exceptional, far better than antennas designed using “wire” programs.
Comparison of EM simulation software

• No tuning antennas
  

Before dispatch, we assemble each antenna and test antenna characteristics. That means you may expect exceptionally good electrical and mechanical characteristics including low SWR across the designed range immediately after assembling.
No need to tune the dipole, or any other element to get perfect SWR on the intended frequency range. Everything is pre-tuned.

• Easy to set up

Everything is labeled, just put number to number. The antenna can be assembled with hand tools.
Everything is included in the antenna box: Antenna, balun with connector, and bracket. Yours is to assemble and have fun!
