Tactical long wire antenna and adaptor
The tactical long wire antenna is suitable for multi-frequency operation with the built-in
antenna tuner of the transceiver. It is approximately 10 m (11 yd) in length. The tactical
long wire antenna is suitable for scanning ALE/CALM and Codan Selcall networks.
The tactical long wire antenna and adaptor are designed for deployment on the antenna
stud on the front panel of the transceiver using one support structure. The tactical long
wire antenna is suitable for communication over short to long distances up to 5000 km
(3000 mi), using frequencies of 1.6 to 30 MHz. It is restricted to a fixed site for
transmission and reception.
Tactical end-fed broadband antenna
The tactical end-fed broadband antenna is a multi-frequency antenna that does not
require tuning. It is suitable for scanning ALE/CALM and Codan Selcall networks.
The tactical end-fed broadband antenna is designed for deployment on the connector
on the front panel of the transceiver using one support structure. The tactical end-fed
broadband antenna is suitable for communication over short to long distances up to
5000 km (3000 mi), using frequencies of 2 to 30 MHz. It is restricted to a fixed site for
transmission and reception.
Table 10: Advantages and limitations of a tactical long wire antenna and
adaptor
Advantages Limitations
Quick and easy to deploy.
Large in size therefore, is more efficient
than the whip antennas.
Suitable for scanning applications.
Multi-frequency operation.
Requires a support structure and
appropriate space, oriented correctly for
the required direction of communication.
The length of the wire may need to be
varied to tune on all frequencies.

Due to its broadband properties, it has a
low immunity to noise.
May be inefficient on some frequencies.
