Overview

Bushcomm FD-100 Broadband Folded Dipole Antennas

Bushcomm FD-100 Broadband Folded Dipole Antennas are compact folded dipole alternatives to their best-selling model, the BBA-100 three-wire broad-band antenna. FD-100 Folded Dipoles not only cover the same frequency range as the BBA-100, it has the same overall length and the same power input of 125W PEP. Best of all, as with the majority of Bushcomm antennas, no tuner is required.

These folded dipoles are multi-wire but relatively light in weight. By having only two stainless steel wires compared to the BBA-100's three wires, they also have less wind loading and an SWR of better than 2.5 (typically 1.5-1.6).

Don't think that just because this is a less expensive antenna that it means quality or performance has been compromised in any way. It's still built to withstand the rigors of the world's harshest environments.
