What is a Linked Dipole?

A linked dipole is a great portable antenna that gives you a full-sized efficient dipole on each band. Band changing is accomplished by simply connecting different sections of the dipole together.

Advantages

• Easy to change bands
• Easy to repair and maintain - including in the field
• Full sized dipole antenna on each band
• Antenna provides two of the guys for your mast - just need a back guy (supplied as part of our ready-to-use Bandhopper linked dipoles).
• Radiation point of antenna as high as possible for best performance
• No lossy matching networks - your power gets radiated, not lost!
• Packs up easily - no parts to lose.

There is an excellent linked dipole designer applet here. We sell a useful pack with most of the parts.
