AM-40M + base
Mobile HF antenna with an embedded antenna base
This kit includes an AM-40M mobile HF antenna and a through-panel antenna base. The antenna is designed for radio communication on the 40 m band, and the base provides a secure attachment at the installation point. The kit suits a vehicle with a permanent antenna mounting position, combining the antenna for the required band with its mounting base.
Installation requirements
The antenna base is designed to secure the antenna to the selected surface. Its M8 threaded stud connects to the antenna or mounting fixture.
Important wind conditions
The permitted vehicle speed depends directly on weather conditions. The aerodynamic load is determined by the total oncoming airflow speed (V₁ + V₂, where V₁ is the vehicle speed and V₂ is the wind speed). In strong headwinds or gusty cross-headwinds of 15 m/s or more, and when passing oncoming trucks, reduce speed to avoid excessive wind load.
