The X80 is an end fed aluminium vertical antenna, capable of allowing the user to work 80 meters through 6 meter bands using an ATU, also not requiring any counterpoise and can be fed using coax cable. The antenna can be pole mounted at ground level or elevated depending on the user personnel requirements. The antenna is rated at 300watts pep. The antenna comes complete with all fixings and fixtures and full installation guide.How it works: The antenna is fed using coax via an SO239 socket at the base of the unit a UNUN transformer is located in a weather sealed box at the bottom of the 6 meter telescoping aluminium element. The transformer reduces the high impedances generated to a more acceptable level making the antenna much more efficient and allowingproper and easy tuning via a manual and most automatic ATU’s. The antenna can be grounded if the user experiences excessive local static noise, but as the UNUN is DC grounded, grounding will not effect the tuning ratio’s.Frequency VSWR3.5 MHz 80 meters No tuner 1.17 MHz 40 meters 2.1:1 No tuner, with atu1.110 MHz 30 meters No tuner 1.2:1, with atu 1.114 MHz 20 meters No tuner 2.4:1, with atu 1.118 MHz 17 meters No tuner 3.5:1, with atu 1.121 MHz 15 meters No tuner 1.5:1, with atu 1.124 MHz 12 meters No tuner 3.5:1, with atu 1.128 MHz 10 meters No tuner 1.1, with atu 1.150 MHz 6 meters No tuner 3.5:1 with ATU 1.1
