GP 160 5/8
⅝ λ Ground-Plane Base Station and Marine Antenna for the
2 m Band
DESCRIPTION
GP 160 5/8 is a 3 dBd, vertically polarised omnidirectional base station
and marine antenna.
The antenna is tunable (by cutting the radiator) within the frequency
band 145…175 MHz.
GP 160 5/8 is a very sturdy construction which can stand mounting
under extreme conditions. It is well suited for mounting on fishing
vessels etc. and a good choice for base stations in the land mobile field.
The antenna is delivered adjusted to 145 MHz unless otherwise
specified. It may, however, be delivered preadjusted for the maritime
VHF band provided this is stated on the purchase order.
GP 160 5/8 is DC-grounded and antistatically protected as all metal parts
are ground-connected. Consequently, the antenna shows a DC-short
across the coaxial cable.
The materials used are glass fibre and chromed brass.
The length of the radiator is measured from the upper edge of the head, right above the mounting point
of the radials, to the top end of the antenna element. The radials should not be cut.
