Description: The Valcom Model V33035AM-CL2 is a 35-foot fibreglass antenna and tunable coupler system designed for operation in the AM frequency band.  The antenna is comprised of a base section and a coil-loaded 2nd section.  Six 2nd sections are available with each one coil-loaded to provide optimum performance within a specific sub-band within the full frequency band of 540 KHz to 1700 KHz.

For applications where it is necessary to change the operating frequency within the full band, the V33035AM-CL2 can be sold and shipped as a complete 7-piece set.  For the remaining fixed-frequency applications, the antenna is sold and shipped as a 2-piece set, which includes the appropriate 2nd section.

The V33035AM-CL2 provides vertically polarized, omni-directional radiation capable of handling power levels up to 1 KW.  For higher power applications, the antenna can be purchased with an optional top termination disc which reduces the corona effects to allow for power levels up to 5 KW at certain frequencies.

Notes: 1.  Do not use lead base paint to touch-up or repaint antenna.
