The Moonraker AMPRO-17 mobile HF antenna is a commercial-grade, high-performance vehicular RF radiator precision-engineered for mobile operations across the 17-meter high frequency band. Utilizing an advanced, high-efficiency helical wound mobile antenna architecture, this slim-profile whip balances rugged mechanical durability with highly efficient radiation propagation fields. It serves as an essential logistics procurement component for tactical field units, emergency response vehicle outfitting, commercial mobile dispatch setups, and high-volume B2B radiocommunication hardware wholesale distribution networks looking to secure premium HF mobile antenna stock.
The electrical configuration of the AMPRO-17 is centered on a precise resonant factory tuning profile at 18 MHz, delivering an expansive 160 KHz operational bandwidth. Engineered to handle high-power mobile transceivers safely without thermal breakdown or core saturation, the internal winding architecture supports a maximum power threshold of 250 Watts. When paired with standard vehicular ground planes or matching mounts, the antenna achieves an optimal voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR of 1.5:1 or better) at resonance, ensuring efficient energy transfer from your feedline.
Standing at a total physical length of 200 cm, this flexible whip delivers excellent low-angle radiation performance, making it highly effective for long-distance mobile DX communication. Designed to maintain mechanical stability over severe road vibrations, the antenna base is cleanly terminated with a standard heavy-duty 3/8th thread fitting designed to couple seamlessly with industrial spring assemblies, heavy-duty magnetic mounts, or permanent vehicular body bracket configurations. Delivered completely turnkey, this premium 17-meter vertical array ensures immediate technical system alignment, effortless rapid installation, and absolute multi-shift field deployment readiness.
