VHF Folded Dipoles – Professional
The PRO-FDVL and PRO-FDVH folded dipoles provide broadband unity gain for general-purpose base station and repeater sites. Built from heavy-duty silver anodised aluminium with stainless steel hardware, they offer excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability. Each vertically polarised dipole features a DC-grounded element, rugged cast aluminium centre clamp, sealed construction, and RG213 coax tail for reliable VHF site performance.
Models PRO-FDVL & PRO-FDVH
This range of folded dipoles provides broadband unity gain and is designed for general purpose base station and repeater sites.
All models have vertically polarised radiation patterns which can be offset by locating the dipole at specific distances from a metallic support structure or by using a reflector. The folded dipole element is DC grounded.
The folded dipole models are constructed from heavy duty extruded aluminium tube with a rugged cast aluminium centre clamp. The clamp is attached to the boom with 3 radial bolts to provide a reliable connection. All hardware is stainless steel and to increase the corrosion resistance the aluminium element and boom are silver anodised.
Each dipole is fitted with a RG213 coax tail and suitable clamps to use are available.
