MA 2-1 MR
Marine VHF Antenna with Low Wind Load
DESCRIPTION
This marine VHF antenna is developed especially for sailboats where low
weight and wind load for a masthead-mounted antenna is essential.
The tapered 1/2 λ stainless steel radiator together with glass fibre
matching unit housing, chrome plated brass parts and stainless steel
corner bracket make this antenna tough and ready to cope with the
corrosive environment at the masthead.
The end-fed dipole principle makes the antenna independent of ground-
plane, radials or other auxiliary arrangements.
The antenna whip should not be mounted parallel or near to other metal
parts such as windex, supporting wires etc. Free mounting and as high
as possible is preferable, otherwise the SWR and the radiation diagram
will be influenced.
