The GoldenRod 50 is the ultimate mobile antenna designed to operate in rugged environments. Perfect for off road vehicles or for use in areas where mobile antenna can come in contact with objects such as trees or bushes. High Tech design patterned after Signal Engineering's broadband, high power military antennas. Features a specially designed top section, which extends signal range by directing it to the horizon, instead of wasting it at high angles, like conventional mobile antennas. One to two S-Unit increase in signal strength over base and top loaded antennas. Broadband match with SWR less than 1.5:1 across all US & UK channels and well into the 10 meter amatuer band with 5 KW power handling capability. Responds to horizontally polarized signals unlike any conventional vertical whip, thus extending the useful range of a mobile enormously!
The GoldenRod 50 features extremely rugged construction, utilizing aircraft grade alloy aluminum with gold-anodized finish for performance and durability.
Perhaps an alternative to the vennerated 102 on a spring for the 4WD crowd like myself ?
Any thoughts?
