rating. We guarantee you will be impressed.
The heart of the 432-6WL is a unique Driven Element Module with superior weather resistance and power han-
dling abilities. The module is CNC machined from a solid aluminum block, features O-ring sealed connectors and internal
connections embedded in a special silicone gel that seals out weather and improves power handling. The Balun connect-
ors are triple-sealed to the coax. Other key mechanical and electrical parts are CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum
