The
offers CBer’s the advantages of both horizontal and vertical polarization with only one coax. feed
line. The
configuration gives outstanding gain and pin point rejection. Experienced
know how
annoying fading due to polarization loss can be. With the dual polarity
signal fading is reduced
as much as 20 Db. Both horizontal and vertical polarization is achieved through the
loop
configuration. Low loss impedance matching
assures low S.W.R. for maximum power transfer.
A pretuned reflector resonating coil assures max. F/B ratio.
