Fast, accurate tuning keeps HF operators on air when every second matters. Covering the full 1.6 to 30 MHz transmit band, The 9390 Tuned Dipole automatically tunes a new frequency in 730 ms on average and recalls stored channels in 385 ms. With 200 memory channels, 150 W PEP handling for voice and data, and a built-in broadband receive amplifier, it supports strong performance across demanding HF operations. Receive coverage extends from 250 kHz to 30 MHz.

For teams operating across conventional, 2G, and 3G ALE networks, the antenna delivers flexible omni-directional coverage in both vertical and horizontal configurations. Installed horizontally at 5 to 10 metres, it supports strong NVIS performance for short to medium range links. A quick-lock clamping system, optional 6 m mast, and compact 1.8 m transport package make deployment straightforward by air, ground, or field vehicle. One person can complete setup or pack-down in under 30 minutes.

Reliable HF links depend on hardware that can handle the environment. Housed in a weather-proof MIL-STD-810G enclosure, the antenna is IP67 rated for dust and water ingress protection and operates from -40°C to +70°C. Built-in safeguards protect against reverse polarity, short circuit, and over voltage, giving teams confidence in austere conditions.

MISSION OUTCOME

9390 Tuned Dipole brings HF on air fast where space is tight and time is short. The automatic tuning HF dipole covers 1.6 to 30 MHz at 150 W PEP, tuning a new frequency in 730 ms and supporting 2G and 3G ALE with a built-in receive amplifier for weak signals. Plus, a single person deploys the 1.8 m package in under 30 minutes. Housed in a weather-proof MIL-STD-810G enclosure with IP67 sealing and -40 to +70 degrees C operation, the 9390 Tuned Dipole holds the link through the harshest conditions.
