The HF1630m is designed for land mobile services in the HF-band 1.6-30 MHz.  It consists of a fibreglass whip and a base.  The whip is intended to be fixed in a deflected position when the vehicle is moving.  The whip is easily removed by hand, and a wire antenna can be attached to the base.  A tie down loop eases fixing a rope when the antenna is deflected.  An optional rigid tilt base is also available to lower the antenna.
