  • 19.4 dBi Gain
  • Front to back 47 dB
  • Front to side 53 dB
  • 1.4.1 VSWR
  • Vertical-Horizontal isolation 30 dB
  • 8 KW rated
  • 50 Ohm
  • 42' x 2" 6061 T6 Boom
  • 6061 Heavy wall aluminum spreader brackets
  • Fiberglass spreaders, longest is 13' 7"
  • Enamel protected solid copper wire elements
  • Wind surface 9.8 sq. ft.
  • Stainless steel hardware (Unlike those cheap antennas)
  • Turning radius 22' 8"
  • 100 MPH wind survival
  • 57 lbs
  • The highly optimized elements length, elements spacing and long boom design of the L8 provides superior signal strength and receive characteristics.
  • The “antenna to beat” among competitors!
  • Exclusive SFS (Signal Feed System, patented) matching system gives maximum directional performance and dual polarity to allow switching between close (local) and long haul signal paths. Provides high reliability communications under all conditions by extending the working range of CB gear to the limit!

Use it as Base-to-Mobile

Switch to Vertical Polarization and extends the useful range of a base station many times over. Signals off the sides and back are greatly reduced, allowing interference-free contacts with mobiles over great distances. Brings in stations that cannot be heard on an omni or smaller beam.

Use it as Base-to-Base

All of the base-to-mobile advantages described above plus the ability to switch to horizontal (flat side) polarization to further minimize interference from local stations. Under proper receiving conditions stations from all 50 states and other countries can be copied.

Outstanding Features

Directivity – Extremely high front-to-back and front-to-side ratios. Up to 50 db rejection for interference-free reception.
Gain – 85X power multiplication (19.4 db) gives you the kind of superperformance you need to get through on crowded channels.
Dual Switchable Polarization – All our Quad’s features exclusive “SFS” (Signal Feed System, patented) matching system gives maximum directional performance and dual polarity to allow switching between Horizontal and Vertical polarization from the operating position with up to 30 db separation.
Low Visual Profile and Wind Resistance – Rugged yet lightweight design looks well and survives high winds.
Low Noise – Full loop quad elements significantly reduce rain static!
High Power Capability – Our SFS Feed System provides low SWR easily adjusted at the boom to mast plate and an 8,000 watt power rating.
