HY-GAIN SPT-500

This fantastic true full-size 5/8 Wave 10 or 12 Meter vertical antenna from Hy-Gain was a legend in the 70s . . . now it’s back and proving its legendary status once again! A full-size radiator with lower radiation angle concentrates power closer to the ground, where you want it. Measures 22 feet, 9.5 inches. Larger diameter, heavy wall ply-tubular construction makes the new Super-Penetrator the absolute top omnidirectional antenna around! Four full-length radials and special machine-formed brackets give great efficiency, uniform pattern, and overall mechanical strength. Electrical performance has been increased to a new standard by the use of a longer radiator and double-matching tuning with linear phasing techniques that provide low SWR and more radiated energy. The double-matching also provides a DC path to ground to drain off precipitation static, giving an extremely low noise antenna capable of high power. SPT-500 is specifically designed to accept AM-FM-SSB-DSB signals with low loss. Handles 1.5 kilowatts.
