Lightweight whip antenna for general VHF applications - 21-4B

The 21-4 series of antennas are a linearly polarised, monopole antenna with wide band frequency characteristics intended for general communication and homing applications. Being of semi-rigid form, they are suitable for external fitting upon helicopters and fixed wing aircraft with a performance up to 350 kts EAS, and other similar applications. The 21-4 consists of a tapered glass fibre sleeve supporting a light aluminium alloy radiating element. The element assembly is fitted to a metal body carrying the coaxial connector. This arrangement allows the antenna to be installed by single hole fixing and allows orientation of the coaxial connector through 360°. The antenna can be mounted true or raked using the angled spacers provided
