These antennas feature a very broad frequency band and rugged construction. Radiating elements are constructed of copper alloy, encased in a weather resistant low loss fiberglass radome. The BA1010 "Heavy Duty" is permanently affixed to a unique mounting fixture which allows mounting on top of or along-side of most vertical supports. Due to their wide bandwidth, they are ideal for use as emergency backup antennas. Their size and mounting fixtures allow for easy storage and fast installation. Alternative mounting hardware is available for most applications.
