Nicom
Model BKG/88
This
antenna, built of stainless steel is designed for circular polarized
transmission with medium and low power installations. It is factory tuned to the
requested frequency, but it can be easily re-tuned in the field to a different
frequency thanks to the adjustable threaded stubs on the tips of the radiating
elements. The low cost of this antenna makes it a good choice even for systems
composed of many elements.
