 Model HF-2-30 1.5 - 30 MHz. Unity Gain 
 

HF BROADBAND DIPOLE ANTENNA

Design Features: The HF-2-30 Broad Band Folded Dipole Antenna offer optimum performance, fully automatic, low SWR operation over the entire HF band 1.5 – 30 MHz and suitable for transmitting, receiving or HF spectrum monitoring or surveillance. The HF broadband dipole antenna propagates NVIS, local, medium or long distance. This HF broadband dipole antenna is ready to go right out of the box, no taps to change frequency, nothing to tune - ever! Designed for the military and built to last. The HF-2-30 can work any frequency you want without going through a lot of knob twirling and measurements to get a good VSWR match - just set your frequency and go!

Constructions: The HF broadband antenna is designed by using two folded arms with a matching Balun. The HF broadband dipole antenna can be mounted either in an inverted “V” using a single mast, or in a standard dipole configuration (Horizontal Polarized) using two masts. The HF Broad Band Dipole Antenna provides optimum performance over complete HF band, eliminating the requirement of multiple antennas or an Antenna Tuning Unit.
