Technical Data Sheet GRIDKIT, Heavy Duty, 8 ft

GKA8-16N

Product Description
RFS Parabolic GRIDKIT antennas are heavy duty, cyclonic wind rating, and designed to be assembled into grid parabolic antennas of comparable performance to welded grid antennas. They have one important advantage - they are transported broken down into a smaller package, thus reducing greatly transportation costs and handling and storage problems. Assembly can be carried out with a few basic tools and easily achieved at remotes sites. Kits contain universal mounting clamps including panning clamp, but tower mounting tubes are not included. Mounting permits either horizontal or vertical polarization.

Features/Benefits
Extremely rugged mechanical design to withstand high windspeeds (350 km/h). Standard Broadband versions for 335 - 2700 MHz bands. Horizontal or vertical polarization. Easy adjustment of azimuth and elevation. Broadband unpressurized feeds, with no trade off in gain slope characteristics. Corrosion resistant aluminum tube reflector, hot dip galvanized mounting, stainless steel hardware.
