Bobcat TigerTailT 11m Base Station Kit Half-Wave Vertical CB Base Antenna
Bobcat TigerTailT 11m Base Station Kit. Half-Wave Vertical CB Base Station Antenna. If you can hang a rope over a tree limb, you can install this antenna. The Bobcat TigerTailT 11m Base Station Kit is a complete, purpose-built half-wave vertical antenna system for the 11-meter band.
It delivers true base-station performance without requiring a rigid tower, pole, or mast - and without ground radials or a ground system. This is a complete base station antenna kit. It installs easily and has great dx long range half wave vertical performance. Factory tuned for the CB band. No field trimming required just simply adjust the top tuning hoop for best performance.
The TigerTailT kit is a half-wave vertical base station antenna designed to provide performance comparable to traditional fiberglass base antennas while eliminating the need for towers or rigid poles. The antenna is intended to be hung vertically from a single elevated support point such as a tree limb using rope. Installation requires only one high attachment point. No mast or tower required. No radials or ground system.
Stable performance across the CB band. Suitable for permanent or portable base station use. Vertical polarization for strong local and DX performance. Balanced feed system to reduce RF on the feedline. This antenna is designed to operate without ground radials or earth systems when installed as shown in the listing.
Very simple tuning adjustments during normal installation. What Makes the TigerTailT Kit Different. Enclosed 1:1 RF current choke at the feedpoint. Fixed geometry design for predictable performance. Antenna element designed for long-term outdoor exposure. Mechanical load carried by the integrated support line, not the antenna element. This is not a DIY experiment. It is a finished antenna system designed for long-term outdoor base installation and performance. Designed to remain installed outdoors for extended periods. The TigerTailT kit is built to stay up and stay working. Antenna Length & Installation Height. Antenna length: approximately 16 to 17 feet. Minimum recommended installation height: approximately 25 feet. Installation height of approximately 25 feet or higher can improve overall performance. Choose a safe hanging point such as a tree limb, well clear of power lines. Ensure the antenna hangs freely and vertically.Avoid nearby metal when possible. Do not allow the antenna element to support its own weight use provided carabiner to hook antenna to. Use common sense and safe installation practices. Watch out for power lines and dead branches!
Performance may vary with installation height, surroundings, and feedline routing. TigerTailT 11m Half-Wave Vertical Antenna.
Integrated 1:1 RF current choke. Feedline coax is not included.
Always install antennas well clear of overhead power lines. Never install where the antenna could contact electrical wiring. Contact with power lines can cause serious injury or death. Avoid using this antenna on dead or weak branches..
Operating beyond these limits, improper installation, or excessive duty cycle can cause damage and is not considered a defect. Designed and built with a focus on simplicity, durability, and real-world performance. This listing represents the core base station kit in the Bobcat antenna system. Additional system components and accessories will in time be offered separately, including higher-power RF options, supporting line systems, and installation accessories.As this is first launch of this product so some slight variations from photos may be made as well as some wear and scratches on the box because they are all built and tested in the real world.
