5/8 lGround Plane base station colinear antenna for land and marine service. It works on
135...175 MHz by using the cutting diagram enclosed. The matching coil is DC feeded for a
perfect protection from the static discharges. GPF 21-N is made of fiberglass, non-corrosive
aluminium, stainless steel and its die-cast strong base assures the maximum robustness and the
best performance. Tuning is easy by following the attached directions
1) Unlock the hexagonal socket
bottom screw using the enclosed
key.
2) Remove the internal coil.
3) Remove the top cap and push
the internal whip to the top
4) Pull the internal whip and re_
move it.
5) Choose the working frequency
and cut the whip according to the
suitable “Typical tuning diagram”.
NOTE: Use the curves just as a
guide. For fine-tuning please use
an SWR-Meter.
6) Insert the whip from the bottom
7) Mount and lock the coil, assem_
ble the top cap.
8) Lock the bottom screw.
9) Finally assemble the radials and
the side mounting bracket.
