今天在buddipole网站看到这个振子,感觉很便携和轻盈,特发帖咨询:
military style shock-corded whip antenna
these shock-cord whips are custom made by us to be extremely rugged yet light-weight. these are the same whips that we sell to our military customers who are using these in harsh conditions and need a reliable and quickly deployable solution.
material selection is 7075 aluminum with all brass fittings. weight for each 3-section antenna is approximately 6 ozs.
(picture 1 shown with the standard 3-section version)
one unique feature of these whips is the ability to add or remove sections to change the overall length of the antenna. with 3 sections the overall length is roughly equivalent to our current telescopic whips (64"). by adding a 4th section (see the drop down menu below) the overall length is increased to 85".
the maximum recommended number of sections for a horizontal dipole is 5 (106") and for a vertical antenna 7 (148") sections.
(picture 2 shows both 3 and 4 section versions)
the shock-cord that we have custom-made for us is called "extreme shock-cord” and is designed to be used even in below freezing environments. it utilizes a double stitched cover over two extra stiff rubber cores.
this is the best shock-cord available for outdoor use in all conditions. the internal shock-cord is replaceable should the need ever arise. adjustments to the shock-cord length to accommodate additional whip sections are made at either end of the antenna via a small fitting.
these whips are meant for anyone who needs a more durable and/or quickly deployed antenna for use with the buddipole, or as a replacement whip for any vertical antenna.
我仔细观察,这种振子和我们夏天用的一种面包蚊帐或者野外帐篷骨架材料很相似,全铝合金材质的!
