Princeton G5RV Antenna


Associated Radio

8012 Conser
Overland Park, KS 66204
(800) 497-1457

www.associatedradio.com

The G5RV antenna is a unique all band antenna.  It consists of a 102 foot flat top plus 34 feet of 450ohm ladder line.  In this instance, the ladder line is an active part of the antenna and radiates RF.  Because of this, it must be fully extended and can not contact the earth or run parallel to metallic objects.   Coax is attached at the end of the ladder line.  Most modern radios with an internal antenna tuner can accommodate this antenna and provide a good match on all bands from 80-10M EXCEPT the 30M band.

Heil Foot Switch FS-2


Heil Sound

5800 N. Illinois St.
Fairview Heights, IL 62208
info@heilsound.com
(618) 257-3000

www.heilsound.com

The Heil FS-2 is a unique product specially designed for controlling two devices simultaneously. A typical application would be to key a transceiver with the BLACK lead and an RF power amplifier with the RED lead. Because of the design architecture, the micro-switch controlling the RED lead keys up first as the foot switch is depressed, thus the RED lead turns on before the BLACK lead thus insuring that the amplifier is keyed first before drive is applied from the transceiver that keys up last in the sequence.
