GP 160
¼ λ Glass fibre Ground-Plane Antenna for the 160 MHz
Band
DESCRIPTION
GP 160 is a glass fibre ground-plane antenna of the triple-leg type.
The antenna is tunable (by cutting) within its main frequency band:
145…175 MHz, but is further applicable up to 400 MHz.
The cutting diagrams below indicate the length of the radiator and the
radials corresponding to a specific frequency.
It is recommended to use the curves as a guide and fine-tune using an
SWR-meter.
The antenna comprises a GP-head made of chromed brass, one
glassfiber radiator and three glass fibre radials.
GP 160 is made of first-class materials and will endure “wear and tear”
for years – no maintenance required.
The radiator is measured from its free end to the bottom of the black insulator, while the radials are
measured from their free ends to where they meet the GP-head.
