TET- Emtron HF antennas

Proudly made in Australia!
 



TEV-1 broadband HF vertical

$279 AUD

The TET-Emtron model TEV-1 is a 8.5 metre long vertical broadband HF 80m~10m antenna. Requires an antenna tuner and/or a  balun of 4:1 impedance ratio or greater to reduce SWR across HF.

It comprises six 1.5m long sections of aluminium tubing, aluminium mounting bracket and hardware.

All stainless steel hardware and rugged aluminium construction ensure long and reliable operation.

As the packed length of the TEV-1 is longer than 1.05m long, at about 1.55m length, Australia Post will not accept it. We must courier or road freight the TEV-1 to you. Ask us for a freight quote to your location...

The TEV-1 should be mounted on top of a metal pole. The antenna's height may be set from 30cm (one foot) above ground level to virtually any height above ground. 

In the case of mounting the TEV-1 above a metal roof, it should be mounted at a height of at least 2m above the metal roof in order to reduce excessive ground reflection which causes higher radiation angle!

The minimal compromise height above ground for a vertical antenna covering 80m to 10m bands is 3m.
 
This is because on the 80m band the optimum radiation angle is ~30 degrees and this occurs when the vertical is mounted at, or just above ground level.  Remember, the longer the wavelength, the greater the surface area of ground plane required. The ground plane radius for an 80m band vertical is ~21m (i.e. 1/4λ + 5%).

However, up on the 10m band the optimum angle is ~10˚ and this occurs at about 10m (or 1λ) above ground. The ground plane radius for a 10m band vertical should be ~2.625m (i.e. 1/4λ + 5%).

The TEV-1 doesn't necessarily need ground plane radials but adding radials will improve its performance.

The antenna is predrilled.
By following the simple instructions, you will find that the antenna is quite easy to assemble.

Some methods of feeding the antenna are:

  • Directly with a long wire into a high impedance tuning auto tuner (e.g. LDG, MFJ tuners or an Icom AH-4 or SGC-237), then into 50 ohm coax cable going back to the shack
  • By fitting a 4:1 balun at the feed point, then running 50 ohm coax to a tuner in the shack
  • Directly with 450 Ohm ribbon, then into a 4:1 balun and antenna tuner at the shack
  • Inductively, by fitting a series base loading coil. However, adding excessive inductance may make the antenna more difficult to tune on 10m, etc.

TEV-1S is mail-able!

TEV-1S broadband COMPACT
5.45m long HF vertical

$249 AUD

The TET-Emtron model TEV-1S is a 5.45 metre long compact vertical broadband HF 80m~10m antenna. Requires an antenna tuner and/or a  balun of 4:1 impedance ratio or greater to reduce SWR across HF.
 
It comprises six 1m long sections of aluminium tubing, aluminium mounting bracket and hardware.

All stainless steel hardware and rugged aluminium construction ensure long and reliable operation. Appearance is similar to TEV-1.

As the packed length is <1.05m we can mail the TEV-1S to you!

The TEV-1S should be mounted on top of a metal pole. The antenna's height may be set from 30cm (one foot) above ground level to virtually any height above ground.
 
In the case of mounting the TEV-1S above a metal roof, it should be mounted at a height of at least 2m above the metal roof in order to reduce excessive ground reflection which causes higher radiation angle!
 
The minimal compromise height above ground for a vertical antenna operating 80m to 10m bands is 3m.
