Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What frequency bands does this portable shortwave antenna cover?
A: This GP telescopic antenna covers the full 7–54MHz shortwave frequency range, making it suitable for a wide variety of amateur radio (ham radio) bands including 40m, 20m, 15m, 10m, and 6m, among others.
Q: What is the maximum power this antenna can handle?
A: The antenna supports a maximum power input of 200W across SSB, CW, and FM operating modes, making it suitable for both QRP and higher-power amateur radio transceivers.
Q: Is this antenna truly portable? How easy is it to set up?
A: Yes — the antenna features a telescopic design that extends to 5.6m and collapses for easy storage in a backpack. The M10 threaded base and included ground pin allow for quick deployment in a variety of outdoor environments without specialised tools.
Q: What does VSWR <1.5 mean and why does it matter?
A: VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) measures how efficiently RF power is transferred from your radio to the antenna. A VSWR of <1.5 across the full band means very low signal reflection, ensuring your transmitter operates efficiently and your signal reaches its maximum potential.
