Through the exclusive integration of Linear Load design technology, Astatic has created the most efficient CB/10m antennas available for practical applications.
When connected to your radio, these antennas provide superior range, outperforming all other antennas incorporating a coiled or loaded design
The Linear 1K offers the maximum in broadband tuning. By transmitting lower SWR across the band, the antenna actually increases your channel capabilities. The benefit translates to near equivalent SWR on channels 1-40 (less than 1.5 : 1).
When it becomes necessary to reduce the length of a resonant radiator, theory dictates a trade-off in radiation efficiency.
This new generation of upgrade antennas innovatively employs the high-tech concept of linear loading.
Basically, linear loading maintains the radiation efficiency that has been robbed from conventional antennas using coil inductors within the major current radiation portion of their length. The linear load radiates signals in addition to moving the loading of the antenna away from the base to less meaningful radiation portions of its length - the center and the top.
Exact antenna range measurements place the Astatic Models on 3/10 of 1dB difference in radiated signal from full length, 108" quarterwave whip. Not bad since 3/10 of 1dB ins not perceptible in practical service and it beats the nearest competition considerably.
The Astatic models also exhibit excellent bandwidth. Over 1 MHz is available at any whip setting with VSWR less than 1.5:1. A single whip setting allows the Astatic 1K to be used very effectively for any 2 MHz segment in the range from 26 to 30 Mhz.
