DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION
5/8 l Ground Plane base station colinear antenna for land and marine service. It works on
135...175 MHz by using the cutting diagram enclosed. The matching coil is DC feeded for a
perfect protection from the static discharges. GPF 21-N is made of fiberglass, non-corrosive
aluminium, stainless steel and its die-cast strong base assures the maximum robustness and the
best performance. Tuning is easy by following the attached directions
