FEATURES:
The M2 170-230-5 Helix a ntenna offers medium performance characteristics for specialized fixed and rapid deploy operations within the 170 to 230 MHz band. It is perfect for either terrestrial or satellite applications. The antenna is
supplied with a manually adjustable Azimuth / Elevation mount and a counter weight. The antenna is shipped with the
helix assembled less ground plane. Finishes are optional. The steel adjustable mounting fixture and counterweight are
zinc plated. Optional arrays of 2 or more are available. Other frequency ranges and gains are also available down to 100
MHz. Complete motorized, computer controlled AZ-EL systems are also manufactured by M2.
Where circular polarity is not required but high bandwidth is, M2 offers a line of various log periodic antennas from 5 to
1300 MHz. If it is antenna related, we probably have made it. Call us with your requirements.
