Diamond x510 dual band vertical antenna

Dual band 2m/ 70cm vertical antenna. Comes with Messi and Paoloi coax 10m and wall bracket Extremely popular omnidirectional antenna for the FM range Almost every radio amateur has such an "X" on the roof - the Diamond omnidirectional VHF/UIHF antenna. Perfect for the local club call channel, the next repeater or the APRS station. They are available for 2m and 70cm, some models also for 23cm and 6m. The Diamond antennas have a robust construction and will last for many years without any problems. The base is made of anodised cast aluminium, the outer tube of UV-resistant plastic (FRP, Fibre Reinforced Plastic). The internal, protected radiator is made of thick brass or copper-bronze. This makes the antennas durable even in rough conditions, they can be used up to wind speeds of 144km/h or more. The mounting is done by a mounting pipe, which protects the coaxial socket against external influences. The mounting pipe is attached to a mast with two supplied clamps and U-bolts. Radials (if used), screws and brackets are made of stainless steel, mounting pipe and clamps are made of aluminium. The antennas are electrically grounded, thus avoiding static electricity and noise in the receiver. The Diamond SE, X and VX series use multiple stacked radiators for higher gain. The radiation pattern becomes flatter as the gain increases. The longer antennas are divided into two or three parts for transport. This keeps the transport costs within reasonable limits. These antennas must be assembled before the first use. The joints are well sealed with an O-ring to avoid water ingress.
