Horizon BFD330 Broad Band 3 to 30Mhz Folded Dipole (No Tuner Required) Price includes postage to anywhere in Australia
Horizon BFD330
Broad Band Folded Dipole 3.0Mhz to 30Mhz
The Horizon BFD330 is a complete antenna built to professional standards. It is a Wide band folded dipole (the same type used by the Military for frequency hopping) and is designed to operate from 3 MHz to 30 MHz continuously with SWR below 2:1 For transmitting the antenna can be matched on any frequency down to 1:1 SWR with an external ATU - but on the Amateur bands this should not be needed.
This antenna is power rated at 200 watts PEP, 75w digital, and can be installed in horizontal form (flat-top), in "V" inverted or inclined with the lower end fixed to within 2m from the ground. The Horizon BFD330 is constructed using G304 Stainless Steel wire for many years of trouble free operation.
Technical Specifications:
Frequency Range: 3 ‐30MHz
Input Impedance: 50Ω
Max. Input Power: 200W (PEP) 75w Digital
VSWR: 2.0 or less (3‐8MHz), 3.0 or less (18‐30MHz) Typically 1.5:1 or less.
Connector: Balun SO‐239
G304 Stainless Steel wire
Spreaders UV Resistant PVC tube
Antenna Length: Approx. 25m (82ft)
Weight: Approx. 3kg
● Installation instructions
1. Confirm if it complies with the safety standard or related laws in your country.
2. Keep the antenna as parallel as you can. Turn the Termination Load up and the balun down. Use nonmetallic rope to fix both ends of antenna to a pole.
3. After inserting the connector, Stretch some self‐fusing tape two times longer and wrap it around the connector. Wrap vinyl tape over the self‐fusing tape to keep it resistant to weather.
● How to check VSWR
1. VSWR can change due to the environmental influences.
Check the antenna SWR is in the normal operating range before transmitting.(2.0:1 or less).
2. Measuring VSWR and tuning of the antenna with 10w maximum.
3. Surrounding buildings, trees or low ground height could be the cause of high VSWR. Try to elevate the antenna as high as possible. 10m or more above the ground is highly recommended but not always possible.
