Model No: 146CP8
FEATURES:
The 146CP8 is a practical sized, yet high performance circular polarized antenna with a remarkably clean pattern.
The pattern is important in order to match the antenna’s noise temperature with modern low noise preamps. This antenna
is ideal for satellite work.
The CNC machined driven element module is O-ring sealed and weather tight for low maintenance and long-term
peak performance. Internal connected are encapsulated in a space-age silicone gel that seals out moisture and improves
power handling. The 3/16” 6061-T6 rod elements are centered to minimize interaction and maintain good ellipticity. Insu-
lators are UV stabilized and locked in place with stainless keepers. Rugged construction, uncompromising performance
