Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What frequency range does this portable shortwave antenna support?
A: This GP antenna covers the full 7–54MHz frequency range, making it suitable for a wide variety of amateur radio bands including 40m, 20m, 15m, 10m, and 6m bands, among others.
Q: How much power can this shortwave antenna handle?
A: The antenna supports up to 200 watts of output power across SSB, CW, and FM operating modes, making it suitable for both QRP and full-power amateur radio operation.
Q: Is this antenna truly portable for field use?
A: Yes. The antenna is lightweight and compact, designed to fit in a standard backpack. The 5.6m telescopic elements extend and retract quickly, and the included M10 mount and ground pin allow for fast, stable deployment in outdoor or field environments.
Q: What does VSWR <1.5 mean for my radio?
A: A VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) of less than 1.5 across the full band means that very little transmit power is reflected back to your radio — most of it is efficiently radiated as a signal. This results in better range, cleaner transmission, and reduced stress on your radio's final amplifier stage.
