1606T2FD
Compact in size it gives great signal gain, wide frequency coverage, and exceptionally low noise characteristics. In our on-site antennas tests, we have found the BUXCOMM 1080T2FD antenna out performs the G5RV, and Extended ZEPP antennas. The BUXCOMM® 1606T2FD, series terminated folded dipole is a broadband antenna designed for fixed station, multi-frequency applications. The BUXCOMM® 1606T2FD, antenna can be mounted horizontally between two support systems, or as an inverted ‘V’ using a single central support mast. This antenna is widely used by military, commercial, and standard broadcast services. The BUXCOMM® 1606T2FD, antenna elements are made with extremely durable, double insulated, UV resistant, flexible PVC and coated with clear nylon. Out of the box, (82 feet total length, 25 metres) the BUXCOMM 1606T2FD, is ready to install. No taps to change and nothing to tune. Originally designed for the military and built to the same durable specs, this antenna is now available to the world of Amateur Radio.

This one antenna does all of your "out of band" frequencies, 1.5 to 30 MHz! For MARS and HAM operators, it the perfect antenna solution. Most important; It's easy to use; Work any frequency you want without going through a lot of knob twirling and measurements to get a good SWR match.No need for an antenna tuner, and no antenna switches needed. Operation is not limited to regular ham bands.Tune any frequency in the antenna's bandwidth, 1.5 to 30 MHz (Continious operation; 160 thru 10 meters), and a VSWR of 2:1 or better. It'll receive those weak signals, much better than any vertical.. ., and it's more reliable.
When changing frequency, there's no fumbling and twisting knobs, thereby making band-changing and frequency hopping fast and simple. This feature provides faster band changing when operating contests.Features:Total Length 82 feet (25 meters, approx) Factory assembled, ready to installCovers 160, 80/75, 60, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, & 10 meters without an antenna tuner.

PERFORMANCE:"The United States Navy conducted extensive transmitting and receiving tests of a single T2FD antenna in the late 1940s at Long Beach, California. They employed a Model TCC Navy 1000 watt transmitter, with a frequency range from 2.0 to 18.0 MHz. After a year of use on all frequencies the T2FD was found to be superior to individual antennas on the various bands. All other antennas were removed from the Long Beach site after the tests. Similar results were experienced by the Kyushu Electric Communications Bureau of Japan. Their experiments indicated that the terminated tilted folded dipole was superior to the "zepp'' and halfwave dipole types previously used. They too, noted wideband characteristics, and that the T2FD gave a 4 to 8 dB signal increase at their various receiver sites."To order with coax cable, scroll down and select coax length.
