Avanti Moonraker 4
The Avanti Moonraker, or Moonraker 4 was a directional beam antenna for CB radio.
also known as...
AV-140 4- Element Dual Beam
The Moonraker 4 uses the cubical quad type reflector for increased gain and superb rejection of signals from unwanted directions. Thus this antenna achieves exceptionally low VSWR across the tuned frequency range. The boom length is 16' 5" long.
- Gain: 14.5db
- Front to Back Seperation: 38db
- Vertical to Horizontal Seperation: 25db
- Number of elements: 4
- Wind load: 5 sq ft
- Weight: 24 lbs
The moonraker 4 may look like a 4 element cubic quad, but is not.
history
