| Consider
the following: |
| Safety: The
split lead antenna installation requires no
alteration of the backstay thus preserving full
mechanical integrity of the backstay wire. |
| All RF
elements of the antenna are fully insulated
eliminating the possibility of the shock hazard
posed by the bare wire connection in conventional
backstay antennas. |
| |
| Ease of
Installation: No cutting,
no swaging, no measuring, no special tools, no
special skills required...simply press fit over
the existing backstay wire and clamp at top and
bottom |
| |
| Performance:
Active elements are designed for RF...more
conductive than the stainless steel backstay wire. |
| Lead
wire connections are waterproof and electrically
sound...no more corrosion where the bare copper
wire is wrapped around the stainless steel
backstay. |
| The
antenna's insulated housing reduces "Precipitation
Static" often associated with heavy
squalls and thunderstorms. |
| |
| Stowage and
Portability: The Split
Lead antenna can be coiled up to a diameter of
approximately 26" for ease of storage |
| It can
be easily removed when the mast or backstay
require work and can readily be transferred from
one vessel to another. |
|
| Durability:
The outer housing is very durable,
resistant to weathering and, since it under no
mechanical stress, should last for may years in
the marine environment. |
|
| Cost: The
GAM / McKim Split Lead Antenna is priced to
compete with conventional backstay insulators
(including swaging costs) and less expensive than
many insulators utilizing reusable terminals. |
| With
Gam Electronics antennas you will always get the
best quality products without compromise and at a
fair price. |
