R 2-3/…, R 2-6/…

Directional Antennas with 3 and 6 dBd Gain

for the 160 MHz Band

DESCRIPTION:
+ These antennas are 2- and 3-element Yagi antennas with 3 and 6 dBd gain, respectively.
+ When mounted for vertical polarisation the horizontal coverage is R 2-3: 100° and R 2-6: 80°.
+ R 2-3/… and R 2-6/… cover the 160 MHz band in two models.
+ These Yagis incorporate baluns optimized for wide bandwidth and accurate matching.
+ The entire balun unit and feeder cable inlet are completely sealed in a polythene moulding ensuring
permanent waterproof connections. The antennas are supplied with a 3m “tail” of RG 213 terminated
with an N-female connector.
+ Radiating elements, supporting booms and adjoining metal castings have been constructed in high
quality aluminium alloys to prevent corrosion. All metal parts are DC-grounded.
+ The antennas are designed for back mounting and are provided with rear extended booms.
+ These antennas can be stacked and fed in phase with a matching harness for increased gain.
+ A mast clamp for fixation on 30-58 mm diameter mast tube is enclosed.
