Telewave ANT42D Dipole Antenna
The Telewave ANT42D stands out as a robust, high-efficiency single dipole antenna tailored for VHF lowband applications, catering to sectors such as public safety, utility services, paging systems, or military communications. This antenna boasts a 8.5 MHz bandwidth without the need for any tuning, allowing for the possibility of stacking multiple elements to enhance gain and directivity.
Crafted from 6061-T6 aluminum, the antenna's construction is fortified at its base with a solid, machined aluminum block, ensuring unparalleled durability. It features a substantial 3.5-inch diameter boom, lending it extraordinary strength.
Moreover, the ANT42D is thoroughly coated with the innovative Txylan™, a protective layer that wards off water and ice accumulation. This coating also shields the antenna from a myriad of environmental threats, including corrosive gases, ultraviolet light, saline mist, acid precipitation, and abrasive winds.
Included with the ANT42D is the
ANTC482 dual clamp set, compatible with galvanized steel support pipes or tower legs ranging from 1.5 inches to 3.5 inches in diameter. Additionally, each antenna package comes with an
ANTLBB element support boom and all necessary mounting clamps.
Please note that this antenna is exclusively shipped via truck freight.
