End-fed broadband antenna
The end-fed broadband antenna is a multifrequency antenna that does not require tuning.
It is suitable for scanning ALE/CALM and Codan Selcall networks.
The end-fed broadband antenna is designed for deployment on the connector on the
front panel of the 2110 SSB Transceiver with the use of one support structure. The end-
fed broadband antenna is suitable for communication over short to long distances up to
5000 km (3000 mi), using frequencies of 2–30 MHz. It is restricted to a fixed site for
transmission and reception.
Broadband dipole antenna
The broadband dipole antenna is a multifrequency antenna that does not require tuning.
It is suitable for scanning ALE/CALM and Codan Selcall networks.
The broadband dipole antenna is designed for deployment on the connector on the
front panel of the 2110 SSB Transceiver with the use of at least one support structure.
The broadband dipole antenna is suitable for communication over short to long distances
up to 5000 km (3000 mi), using frequencies of 3–30 MHz. It is restricted to a fixed site
for transmission and reception.
Table 8: Advantages and limitations of a 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.
Multifrequency 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.

Advantages Limitations
Quick and easy to deploy.
Suitable for scanning applications.
Multifrequency operation.
Requires a support structure and
appropriate space, oriented correctly for
the required direction of communication.
Due to its broadband properties, it has a
low immunity to noise.
May be inefficient on some frequencies.
