6-80M Portable HF Tuner Free Antenna

The 6-80M HF off-center-fed vertical L-Dipole antenna with tripod offers pre-tuned, touch-free operation, deploying in five minutes to deliver configurable signal patterns, including NVIS, DX, and Ground Wave. This system’s versatile options make it a Swiss Army knife for antenna setups.Use our Make an Offer Program and Click this button if you can’t afford full price.Make An Offer (Without Options)Specifications Antenna Type: OCF Standing L Dipole Mounting: Female 5/8 11 Bands: 6m, 10m, 12m, 15m, 17m, 20m, 30m, 40m, 60m, 80m Max Power (Watts): 250 PEP SSB, 125 CW, or 25 watts for digital modes. NOTE – The MIL-STD-188 M110a digital communications mode is rated at bursts of 100 watts digital for up to 1 minute using the MIL-STD Data Modem Terminal (MS-DMT) and Automated Message Terminal (AMT) software applications. Weight – Stowed Size: 212 ounces & 41 x 7.5 x 7.5 inches RF Connection: SO-239 Impedance: 50 ohms IP Rating: IP-53 – Protected against dust limited ingress, no harmful deposits. Protected against direct sprays of water up to 60 degrees from the vertical. Environmental operating parameters: -15 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit and winds up to 35 MphIncluded1 – Telescopic heavy duty aluminum tripod in a non-padded equipment bag 1 – A second non-padded bag with the following in it: 1 – Auto Match with SO239 connector 1 – Seven section MilStick element is 9′ 4″ long (When storing, fold the whip starting from the top section.) 1 – 25 ft. NVIS element wire 1 – 8 ft. Grounded counterpoise wire with ground stakeVideosAnalysisAnalysis at the portable HF antenna when properly deployed on the tripod with Vertical, NVIS, & Grounded Counterpoise elements without a tuner. An external antenna tuner can be used if the antenna system is deployed over a poor ground or not placed in a clear area.Signal PatternElevation/Azimuth signal patterns with default configuration.(BLUE is from the Side & RED is from Above of the antenna)WarningNever Remove or Loosen any of the Bolts, Washers, Nuts, or Caps on the AutoMatch.More InformationNever Remove or Loosen any of the Bolts, Washers, Nuts, or Caps on the AutoMatch.Signal Pattern: Using the NVIS, Vertical & Grounded Counterpoise elements, the balance of the system launches your signal at your target in the opposite direction the NVIS element is run. For an omnidirectional signal pattern, you may remove the NVIS element.No Guying: The HD Tripod wraps around and protects the antenna system when stored. Talons and a built-in heel step are at the base of each tripod leg. This enables the tripod to be used in most environmental conditions without guy wires.Touch free operations: The system enables you to switch bands or change frequencies without having to change switches, jumpers, or coils as it is an off-center fed dipole type vertical that is pre-tuned when deployed over real ground. Making this antenna especially useful if you have a disability such as being mobility or sight impaired.Increased ERP (Effective Radiated Power): The electrically balanced OCF dipole circuit of the system has an increased ERP over the base fed vertical (end-fed) antennas that use lossy matches to force low SWRs.DX and NVIS signal patterns: The combination of a Vertical element with the NVIS and Grounded Counterpoise elements provide for a directional portable HF antenna system that enhances lower take off angles for increased DX communications, while simultaneously enhancing NVIS (Near Vertical Incident Skywave) for stateside communications.Stability: The AutoMatch is computer designed for proper balance. It contains a transformer that is enclosed in a rugged housing. The match and elements are what give the AutoMatch both the inductive and capacitive balance. Once the elements are installed, their capacitive characteristics also enables RF to radiate.MilStick Whip: This antenna is our electrically conductive, industrial strength MilStick whip. The composite of the MilStick whip is a high strength alloy. The construction of each element has a scratch-resistant surface. The inserts are then electrically bonded, where full RF continuity is used to ensure that maximum efficiencies are achieved. This Seven section MilStick vertical element that is 9′ 4″ long is excellent for most deployments in environments that are not exposed daily to salt water or extreme physical abuse. An optional stainless-steel whip is available for saltwater environments.Industrial Wiring: Sheathed memory free wiring is used, which is rated for temperatures from -40°C to 175°C. This makes it far superior to wiring that is so light duty that it can be wrapped around a kite string holder.We listen!We are dedicated to improving all of our Portable VHF UHF HF Antennas.

The performance and build quality are fantastic and the customer service that came along with it has been phenomenal. I had a couple of questions after my purchase that Steve answered right away. I can’t recommend Alpha Antennas enough. This won’t be the last antenna I buy from them.
