The 3046 is a low profile, 125 W HF antenna tuning unit designed to deliver high performance and reliability.
The 3046 provides high speed and efficient tuning of short and long whip antennas across the full operational HF band. The innovative circuit design ensures power delivery to the antenna is maximised, and receive mode performance is optimised by the internal receive mode amplifier. The control interface of the 3046 is fully integrated with Codan’s HF transceivers so that tuning is transparent to the operator. These features combine to provide an easy-to-use, trouble-free, high performance mobile antenna solution.
The 3046 is offered with a 3 m carbon fiber MIL spec whip antenna, MIL spec rubber spring and NATO hole pattern base. The 3 m whip can be configured for NVIS operation using the tie down kit included and can also be extended to 7 m with the 3 section Extension and Guy Kit for semi-permanent stationary use. An additional antenna accessory is the 9 m tactical long wire kit designed to attach directly to the NATO base stud.
