LP 1017

MODEL LP-1017


2 KW ROTATABLE HF LOG PERIODIC ANTENNA
NATO STOCK 5985-01-028-8263

The LP-1017 is a commercial, lightweight, HF log periodic antenna, designed for medium to long range communications. The LP-1017 operating range is 6.2 - 30.0 MHz and is unique as its physical size is reduced over comparable antennas. Power rated at 2kW CW and 4 kW PEP, the LP-1017 is ideally suited for use in broadband ALE (automatic link establishment) or fixed frequency commercial applications where performance and reliability are major factors. The antenna is constructed of the finest tubular aluminum available, and all elements are tapered aluminum tubing for minimum weight and wind drag.

  • Broadband operation available for ALE (automatic link establishment) or frequency hopping operation without complex external tuning units
  • Lightweight, compact array
  • Low VSWR and high gain across the operating band
