Description
HVT-400: HVT Series mobile antennas are constructed of a rigid fiberglass core. This core is helically wound with copper wire and it is tuned to various band “tap” points. The KPO HVT Antenna is a shortened HI-Q design and therefore it has a narrow SWR bandwidth, particularly on 80 meters. When measuring SWR adjust the SWR meter slowly across the band… no more than 5 kilohertz at a time. Otherwise, you may miss the resonant spot. The HVT series antennas are intended for mobile installations; however, it is often used as a fixed base station or portable antenna. Trunk lip mount is recommended.
For back packing (QRP) the antenna disassembles in two section, the coil section which measures 18-inches long and the whip (stinger) which measures 36-inches long. HVT400B is an ideal “stationary mobile antenna” and for vacation and field day QTH’s.
