DESCRIPTION:

3000W 80-6 with a tuner

Unlike the original G5RV, which requires an antenna tuner on all bands, the ZS6BKW / G5RV is capable of operating on 10, 12, 17, 20 & 40m bands, generally without a tuner, and with SWR readings usually at 1.5:1 or less.

Using a tuner, 6, 15, 30 & 80m bands are attained with much higher efficiency than the original G5RV.

NI4L Optimized G5RV is made with:

*Poly-STEALTH T HIGH STRENGTH AERIAL WIRES

*FLEXI 420-OHM LADDER LINE #16 AWG: (40') 2 #16 AWG; 19/29 strands Cu-clad with black poly jacket. Nominal OD .065 x .930; Extra flexible & less likely to break in the wind. Nominal impedance 420(ohms); VP 91.7%. Good for -20oC to +60oC
degrees

*Weather Resistant PVC: SO-239 connector terminating the ladder line connection. Crimped, soldered, covered in black adhesive lined heat shrink.

*Ladder-LocT Center insulator: The Ladder-Loc T is a strain-relief and mounting support for 450-ohm ladder-line. It is UV-stabilized and has a proven field record of durability. Over 15,000 have been shipped to satisfied users

*SS hardware

*Two end insulators


Important Note:
As with all models of the G5RV antenna, the Optimized version also requires a minimum of 70 feet of 50-52 ohm coax to complete the matching network. Without this 70 foot of coax, the antenna will NOT function correctly.
