TETRA18 10/15/20/40 DUALFEED is a high performance and versatile quad-band Yagi. On 40 meters it has a Reflector/Driver configuration and the size of the elements has been compacted using loads placed at the ends of the elements. This solution, which was originally adopted by W6NL, allows you to maintain the performance of a full size yagi by limiting antenna dimensions. On 10/15/20 meters it features full size elements and a classic configuration: 4 elements on 20, 5 elements on 15 and 7 elements on 10 meters.
No traps or other adaptation systems have been used on this antenna, nor are there any moving parts: no motors or relays that risk breaking! Highly reliable and durable aluminum products are used in the manufacture of this amazing antenna system!
The dual feed systems allow contest stations to use this antenna as a multi/monoband: while one transceiver/amplifier setup transmits on 10/15/20 meters, a second station can operate simultaneously on 40 meters (requires additional BPF to protect your equipment).

TETRA18 10/15/20/40 DUALFEED comes with an Assembly Tool and spare parts (bolts and a pair of aluminium tubes).
N.2 3kW RF Choke balun is also supplied as standard. This component is very expensive and many antenna manufacturers supply it as an optional extra.

Requires 2 coaxial cables, one for the 40 meter band and the second feeds the 10/15/20 meter bands.
Requires a rotor for a heavy load

RF choke:2X 3kW included

*Wind survival is the maximum wind speed to which the antenna can be subjected without incurring permanent deformation (calculated in the absence of ice)

**The Momobeam RF Choke (standard product offering, rated at 3 KW) is made from high quality Teflon dielectric, double shielded, low loss coaxial cable with properly selected ferrite material that is sleeved over the cable that together, create a high impedance path for RF, providing high isolation between the antenna and coaxial feedline.

An SO-239 female connector is included for convenient attachment to the customer feedline and its PL-259 Male connector.

The 5 KW and 10 KW rated RF chokes (optional purchase) are made from the same materials except the coaxial cable is 10 mm diameter.

The 10KW version uses a 7/16 DIN style connector.
