HF sectional vehicle whip, monopole, 5 m, 1.6-30 MHz

APX52

The APX52 is constructed for land mobile services in the HF band 1.6-30 MHz.

It consists of four whip sections and a base assembly.  The base assembly is equipped with heavy duty spring coil to absorb shocks and to allow for a semi permanent deflection of the antenna when the vehicle is mobile.  A rigid version of the base is also available for naval or fixed platforms.  To reduce visual signature the antenna can also be used with only two sections with reduced performance.
