Procom 2.8m Poly-Coated - Glassfibre Antenna CXL 2-3LW is a 3 dBd, vertically polarised, omnidirectional base station and marine antenna, which covers the VHF-band in 4 models. Provided with the sturdy “LW” mast mount – a lightweight, multipurpose, epoxy-coated mounting bracket made of non-corrosive aluminium. The accompanying U-bolts and fittings are made of stainless steel. To be mounted on vertical or horizontal mast tubes, 16 to 54 mm in outer diameter. The cable can be led either on the outside or along the inside of the mast tube. Large bandwidth with respect to both SWR and gain. The phasing of the radiating elements is adjusted to yield maximum gain in the horizontal plane, with the level of the sidelobes reduced to a minimum. The carefully designed, broad-banded antenna element is sealed in a high-quality conical glass fibre tube with low wind-load, which will ensure performance undisturbed by corrosive environments. To substantially reduce noise caused by atmospherical discharges, all metal parts in the antenna are DC-grounded. Consequently, the antenna shows a DC-short across the coaxial cable. The CXL 2-3LW is a vibration-proof, lightweight, slim-line, corrosion resistant, modern style base station and marine antenna.
