REZ Antenna Systems Z-17CSS Compact Telescoping Whips
REZ Antenna Systems [Z]-17CSS Compact Telescoping Whips are compact, travel-optimized 17.5-foot telescopic stainless steel whip antennas designed for operators who need serious performance in a more packable form factor. With a shorter collapsed length and a full extra 6 inches of extended height over traditional 17' whips, the [Z]-17CSS provides enhanced tuning flexibility when external factors—like ground conditions, coil loading, or terrain—call for just a bit more whip. When paired with the Scout base, the Z-17CSS is resonant as a ¼-wave vertical from 20 through 6 meters. It can also be loaded for 40 meters using the Scout 4017 coil, Recon 40, or Ranger 80 systems—making it a highly versatile whip for portable HF operation. The [Z]-17CSS uses a riveted base rather than a cross pin—an upgrade that ensures the internal wall of the tubing is tightly clamped to the threaded base for excellent mechanical strength and consistent electrical contact. With 17 telescoping sections and a 1,000-watt PEP rating, the [Z]-17CSS is the ideal whip for operators who prioritize minimal pack size without sacrificing performance or ruggedness in the field.
