Antennas for amateur 70 cm repeaters
430-440 MHz

If you are installing the repeater on the high mountain at the tough weather conditions or on the top of the broadcasting radio station mast than it is better not to apply the conventional antennas covered by the glass-fiber cases. They may be fast broken under the influence of the ice and wind. In these conditions we recommend to use highly reliable antennas based upon the loop aluminum dipoles - D4 UHF (70 cm). They are made of the thick tube with the application of Argon welding. They possess a polymeric coating, are fully grounded by the direct current and do not need to be tuned.

Antenna D4 UHF represents folded Pistolcors dipoles. Its primaries: wide operating band and nearly circular pattern. Welded construction of dipole eliminates possibility of intermodulation. Emitting unit directional pattern can be slightly corrected by changing distance from it to mast. Collapsible construction provides easy antenna mounting and dismounting
