BPV-T-160 Tapped Whip
This tuned, tapped whip enables direct connection of the HF transceiver
without the need for an antenna tuner. Any frequency between 2-30 MHz
can be specified (maximum of 15 taps).
The antenna is built on a solid glass fibre core for maximum strength and impact resistance and features a unique bayonet-locking wander lead for tap selection. Other makes of tuned whips rely on a banana plug fitting which can often come loose in the high vibration environment of a vehicle mounted whip.
This fail-safe feature eliminates a common problem in this style of antenna and it is not found on any other brand.

NO ANTENNA TUNER REQUIRED.

*Note: This antenna fits to the BPV- Base with BPV-TW- Adapter, or alternative bases can be supplied.

BPV-160 Heavy Duty Glass Fibre Whip
The BPV-160 is a ruggedly constructed tuned whip built from a solid glass fibre core covered with a heavy-duty braided copper conductor and an insulating sheath. Solid construction offers greatly increased impact survival
over hollow glass fibre whips and the insulating sheath enables it to be used in environments where there is risk of contact with high voltage sources such as fallen power lines.
The fully enclosing braided conductor enables a very efficient transfer of radiated power.

BPV-2-160 Heavy Duty Two Section Glass Fibre Whip
A ruggedly constructed tuned whip built from a solid glass fibre core covered with a heavy-duty braided copper conductor and an insulating sheath. Solid construction offers greatly increased impact survival over
hollow glass fibre whips and the insulating sheath enables it to be used in environments where there is risk of contact with high voltage sources such as fallen power lines.
The fully enclosing braided conductor enables a very efficient transfer of radiated power. This version consists of two detachable sections joined by a heavy-duty threaded stud enabling the antenna to be
conveniently transported or stored.
