Sirio Performer 5000 / Turbo 5000

The next antenna some like it and some hate it. I have here also a Sirio Hi Power 4000 and think the new 5000 has a slight edge on the 4000. Made in Italy and can come with different coax if and when you want to drive it hard with more power then choose the other option. Bandwidth is on mine something like 180 channels with good swr and then another 20 or so with the limits of the bandwidth being pushed. It is a heavy antenna and can handle on the power side 1.5kw continuous and 5kw now and then but not solid. Antenna is built fine and is excellent working as the next video here will show.
