Antennas-Amplifiers Product Benefits. A Major advance in antenna design.
- F/B and G/T superiority.
All antennas have been calculated using state-of-the-art full 3D EM modeling 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 the EZNEC program.
- No tuning antennas.
Before dispatch, we assemble and test each antenna’s characteristics. No need to tune any 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. Everything is included in the box: Antenna, balun, bracket, and guy rope support if needed. Yours is to assemble and have fun!
- Mechanical properties.
We believe that our antennas are the world’s strongest antennas and are mechanically constructed much better than any antennas from other manufacturers.
Wyn –
Set up antenna to test /P kind of use, supported only by Tennamast ‘Tenna Traveller’ portable mast, only at height 20 feet/about 6 metres.
Quality of antenna materials and workmanship 5/5. Excellent, especially compared to the previously owned Innovantenna, EA Antenna. The antenna seems quite durable.
Performance – connected with 15 metres of RG213, cable loss 0.6 dB. The SWR is close to 1:1 mostly everywhere. Down 28.010 seemed 1.1-1.2 max, higher up hardly moved SWR meter.
Results..on SSB
Antenna pointed towards Africa, heard South Africa station 57/58, he went QRT before I could call, skip changing.
The antenna pointed towards North America, and lots of stations heard some S9+10 dB, had QSO with 57 reports, only using less than 100 watts on my side.
After use, I tested the disassembly, and everything fitted back exactly inside the box.
Thank you for a quality antenna.
