FireStik (2M-4) - 2-Meter Antenna, Tunable Tip,
144-148MHz, Fiberglass, 4ft, Black, 5/8 Wave
Description:
This FireStik 2-Meter antenna is an omni-directional
antenna for the 144 to 148 MHz, 2 meter amateur band. It
offers the lowest angle of radiation of any mobile VHF
antenna and may very well be the best kept secret among
those in the know. This 5/8 wave (physical & electrical)
antenna has a nominal impedance of 50-52 ohms and can
achieve average tuned SWR of 1.5 to 1 over 4 MHz. The
over all length is 48.2" (122.4cm). Gain over
isotropic is 6 dB. Gain over 1/4 wave is 3 dB. The
antenna is rated at 400 watts AM, 800 P.E.P.
Other important features besides the wide bandwidth and
low angle of radiation, is the fact that they are static
noise resistive and may be tuned to higher frequencies -
test bench results showed the frequency raising 300 KHz
for every 0.125" of fiberglass/wire removed from the
antenna.
The core is 3/8" (0.375" or 10mm) solid
fiberglass (special FireStik formula for balance of
ruggedness and flexibility). The conductor is that of
double insulated 19 gauge copper wire. The covering is
made of high quality PVC with added UV and pigment
stabilizers. The antenna base is chrome plated machine
brass with standard 3/8"-24 threads for full
compatibility with all FireStik mounts and accessories.
