AV-6160 43-Foot Self-Supporting Vertical Antenna
INTRODUCTION
The AV-6160 is a 43-foot self-supporting vertical antenna that covers 160-6 meters with the use of a
wide range antenna tuner. The AV-6160 has the lowest wind-loading and has the least visual
impact of any 43-foot vertical antenna on the market.
The AV-6160 is built-to-last – using incredibly strong 6063 T-6 aircraft strength aluminum tubing for
the radiator and all stainless steel hose clamps and hardware. And it assembles in about an hour.
WARNING: Improper installation and assembly can be hazardous! Read these instructions
thoroughly before attempting to assemble, install or operate this product! High power
