Bushcomm FD-600 Wideband Folded Dipoles
2 Customer Reviews
The Folded Dipole is a multi-wire antenna that is relatively lightweight. By having only two stainless steel wires compared to the BBA-100's three wires, it also has less wind loading! These antennas sport an SWR of better than 2.5:1 (typically 1.5-1.6:1) from 2 to 30 MH
