Diex Antennas Dual-Band Trap Shortened Rigid Dipoles

DIEX Antennas Dual Band Trap Shortened Rigid Dipoles are shortened dipole antennas for 12m and 17m. Diex aluminum tubing antennas provide excellent performance and are handled with a lighter tower and smaller rotator, offering a very economical alternative to the expense of a Yagi. Crafted with precision in Brazil using quality materials, they are designed to withstand tough environments assuring long-lasting service. They are packed partially assembled, saving valuable time and effort. Typically mounted on a rotating mast, these dual-band HF antennas provide very good directionality depending upon installed height above ground. They feature the flexibility of physical adjustments to set the lowest SWR to a specific frequency. Diex Antennas Dual-Band Rigid Rotatable Dipoles power handling is 1,500W+ PEP, which is further limited if using an antenna tuner.

NOTE: Diex Antennas recommends that HF antennas should be mounted on a tower at a minimum height of 33 to 50 ft. (10 - 15 meters) above ground level and must be installed in the clear, away from power lines, trees, buildings or other towers and antennas
