The Hi-Q-2.5/80 RT

Remotely Tunable (Motorized) - 6 thru 80 meters

The Hi-Q-2.5/80 RT is a motorized, Remotely Tunable HF Mobile antenna.

Dimensions:

Antenna height: 3 feet

Recommended whip length: 7 feet 6 inches

Loading coil diameter: 2.5 inches

Loading coil length: 10 inches

Mast diameter: 1.3 inches with 2 inch motor housing

Weight: 6.0 lb.

Base impedance: 18 Ohms @ 3.8 MHz

Matching may be needed for 40 & 80 meters, using either a shunt coil or other matching device. The loading coil is a sealed unit, no maintenance is required.

Method of tuning:

MFJ-1922B or similar controller. ALL Hi-Q-Antennas now have a magnet to count rotations of the motor-output shaft. So, by adding an optional reed switch externally, you get a "pulse per revolution" for the MFJ-1922B or similar controller.
You may also use a simple DPDT switch to tune the antenna.

Power input to motor: 12/24 VDC
Mounting: 3/8-24 bolt, two insulating wafers, supplied.

Electrical parameters (Measured @ 3.8 MHz)

Frequency coverage: 6 meters through 80 meters (for 6m & 10m use a short whip)

Overall height: 13'6" mounted on a Std. Vehicle

Overall antenna "Q": 73

Radiation Efficiency: 5.0%

Relative radiated power: -12 dB

Power handling: SSB legal limit
