* Bands: 3.8/7MHz * Power rating 2kW * Length 12.1m * Element diameter 50mm * Mast Diameter 48- 61mm * Wind Surface Area 0.3m3 * Wind survival rate 35m/s * Weight 11kg * Requires AD-385 for 3.5MHz use
The CV-48 is a reduced type of vertical antenna for the 80, 75 and 40m bands. A loaded capacitive hat effectively shortens the element on 7MHz. A high-Q 3.8MHz trap is used to make it radiate more efficiently. An optional remote controlled AD-385 band switch allows operation to be extended to 3.5MHz at a flip of a switch.
