The 1700-26-2 is a rugged man packable high gain yagi type, horn fed antenna that can provide high perfor-

mance between the frequencies of 1625 MHz and 1725 MHz. The elements are made from aluminum 1/4" hex and are

large enough not to be damaged by man packing or the outside elements. The antenna is broken apart in near equal sec-

tions using a unique no tools bayonet type connection that allows quick assembly or disassembly. The antenna can be

used with just 2 element sections in place, that keeps the package down to a manageable 57 inches long. But if extra

gain is needed, just add the last element section for a little extra gain for the fringe situations. The 1700-26-2 uses a

unique horn to excite the elements and achieve amazing gain. The horn comes with a face cover to protect the horn

probe inside and gives a clean storage cup after disassembly.
