345CP16, 340-350 MHz

The 345CP16 is high performance circular polarized antenna with a remarkably clean pattern. 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 when a circular pattern is desired. The 345CP16 is shown fixed in RHCP but can be ordered with or without a polarity switch. 

The CNC machined driven element module is O-ring sealed and weather tight for low maintenance and long-term peak performance. Internal connections 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. Insulators are UV stabilized and locked in place with stainless keepers. Rugged construction, uncompromising performance for the boom length. That's the M2 345CP16 !
