Features

Features:

•BUILT WITH LOW POWER BROADCASTERS IN MIND

•POWER RATING
Each bay is rated at 500 / 1000(Plus) watts with a maximum power of 2 kW / 5kW (Plus) for four bays.

•RUGGED CONSTRUCTION
The antenna system is fabricated from rugged, heavy wall copper, silicon bronze cast fittings, and naval brass. All joints are tig-welded.

•PRESSURIZATION NOT REQUIRED

•CUSTOM DIRECTIONAL PATTERNS
FM directional antennas based on the customer’s mounting structure, with FCC filing documentation, are available.

•WEATHERIZATION (OPTIONAL)
Radomes or electrical deicers available for areas that experience periods of heavy icing and/or snow conditions.

•STANDARD MOUNTING BRACKETS
Fits up to 4” tower leg or pipe. Supplied with antenna.

•WARRANTY
2-year limited warranty on defects and workmanship to the original purchaser.

Notes:
1. Power rating is based on 40 degrees C ambient. Degeneration occurs above 2000 ft.
2. Antenna weight, windload, aperture, and dimensions are based on mid-band operation (98.1 MHz).
3. Antennas with 3 or more bays come with input power divider.
4. Windload based on 50/33 psf.
5. SWR, Inc. maintains a continuous program of product improvement and therefore reserves the right to change specifications without notice.
