Applications:
The VH-830/T is a directional, transportable HF antenna designed
for medium to long range skywave circuits. The antenna is intended
for use in the 8 to 30 Mhz frequency band, however operation
is extended down to 2 Mhz with reduced performance. The VH-830/T
is utilized in tactical situations where quick erection and medium
to long range circuits are required. The antenna is horizontally
polarized for efficient performance over all types of soil and
will handle up to 10 kW of power.
Features:
The VH-830/T use a 50 foot telescoping mast for ease of erection.
The mast is precision engineered and uses air dampened retraction
to ensure smooth, safe operation of the telescoping tubes. The
element wires are 500 feet long and are made of vinyl coated
galvanized aircraft cable.
Characteristics:
The antenna is fed with a balun that is located at the top of
the mast. The /1 antenna is for power levels up to 1 kW average
and 2 kW PEP, and is supplied with type N connectors and a 50
foot length of RG-214 coaxial cable. The /2 antenna is for power
levels up to 10 kW, and is supplied with type SC connectors and
a 50 foot length of RG-393 coaxial cable. High power terminations
are provided with the /2 antennas. The input impedance is 50
ohms and the max VSWR is 2.0:1.
Equipment Supplied:
The antenna comes equipped with balun, elements, terminations,
guys, mast base, anchors, hammer, and telescopic mast.
Optional Equipment:
Transit case, element end support poles, sectional steel mast.
