FEATURES:
The 400CP30A is a practical sized, yet high performance circular polarized antenna with a remarkably clean pat-
tern. The pattern is important in order to match the antenna's noise temperature with modern low noise preamps. This
antenna is ideal for satellite work but is also excellent for terrestrial uses like ATV, repeater operation, and long haul tropo
DX. The CNC machined driven element module is O-ring sealed and weather tight for low maintenance and long-term
peak performance. Internal connected are encapsulated in a space-age silicone gel that seals out moisture and improves
power handling. The 3/16" 6061-T6 rod elements are centered to minimize interaction and maintain good ellipticity. Insu-
lators are UV stabilized and locked in place with stainless keepers. Rugged construction, uncompromising performance
