2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual 37
Selecting an appropriate antenna
Use the following table as a guide to selecting an antenna that is appropriate for your
communication requirements.
Whip antennas
There are three whip antennas available for use with the 2110 SSB Transceiver:
•tape whip
• knock-down whip
• 3 m (10 ft) collapsible whip
All whip antennas are omnidirectional in performance, therefore providing radiation
efficiency equally in all directions depending on the deployment position (for example,
vertical position for long distances and horizontal position for short distances). When
receiving, this omnidirectional performance may mean more unwanted signals are
picked up, which contributes to high levels of background noise or interference.
