General
The 3048 Tuned Dipole Antenna provides continuous tuning for
transceivers that use multiple frequencies. It is designed to
withstand extreme environmental and physical conditions.
The antenna tunes its four 4.8 m dipole elements to a VSWR less
than 1.5:1 over the whole range of 2.5 to 30 MHz. The antenna is
supplied with a purpose-designed 6 m mast, guyed in four
directions at the 3 m and 6 m levels, and includes a pole for ease of
erection. This mast is designed for permanent installation on firm
soils and comes with all necessary components. If the mast is to be
located on sand or soft soils, then concrete anchor points and mast
footing is recommended.
The 3048 Tuned Dipole Antenna is compatible with any Codan HF
transceiver that can control a Codan 3042/3046 Antenna Tuner or
3040/9350 Automatic Tuning Whip Antenna.
