The 10-80P is an HF portable antenna system for use within the range of 3.5Mhz -30Mhz continuous! Will work with any HF transceiver, and can handle up to 250 watts PEP! Very simple to use! There is no need for “screw on” type taps like on other portable antennas, this one will tune up and down the band with ease! Also, this one covers 80 meters! Most other portable antennas out there do not. Just listen for the most background noise in your RX, then fine tune with your SWR meter or analyzer. This system is designed to fit any standard tripod with a 1/4 x 20 thread base. You can also use any standard mobile or portable type mount with the 3/8 x 24 thread hardware. Comes with brass whip sections (not flimsy telescopic whip), tripod bracket, counterpoise wire, tap ring and coil. www.pcssales.net
