  • GP 40 is a glass fibre ground-plane antenna of the triple-leg type.
  • The antenna is tunable (by cutting) within: 40…70 MHz.
  • The cutting diagrams below indicate the length of the radiator and the radials corresponding to a specific frequency. It is recommended to use the curves as a guide and fine-tune using an VSWR-meter.
  • The antenna comprises a brass GP-head, one glass fibre radiator and three glass fibre radials.
  • GP 40 is made of first-class materials and will endure “wear and tear” for years – no maintenance required.
  • LW-SS-1″ mounting bracket and GP Adaptor is available as accessories.

Please Note

The GP 40 can be delivered with a GP-head for mounting on 42 mm dia. mast tube (standard is 38 mm) when ordering as option GP 40/42 mm.

The radiator is measured from its free end to the bottom of the black insulator, while the radials are measured from their free ends to where they meet the GP-?head.
