KUM603MWMe — HF whip antenna (BLU) fiberglass / 3 sections - 750W - 6m length - Tx/Rx - Supplied with bracket

The HF/SSB marine communication antenna AC ANTENNAS KUM603MWMe is designed for transmission and reception in the HF/SSB band. With a 6-meter length and a 750 Watts PEP power handling capacity, this fiberglass whip antenna is optimized for automatic-tuning HF/SSB systems suitable for pleasure craft and commercial vessels.

Design and Performance

The KUM603MWMe operates across a frequency range of 1.4 to 30 MHz. Its omnidirectional side-fed design with vertical polarization ensures effective coverage. The insulation resistance exceeds 10⁹ Ohms, and the static capacitance is 70 pF, with a maximum RF voltage of 9 kV. The connector is a direct side-fed coaxial terminal.

Marine Durability

Constructed from white fiberglass, this antenna features copper radiating elements to prevent galvanic corrosion. The crimping technology used in its manufacturing enhances structural robustness. Designed for marine environments, it has an IP66 rating and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +60°C. It can withstand wind speeds up to 200 km/h (44 m/s), with a wind load of 129 N at 160 km/h. Its weight is 5.00 kg.
