Description: The AS-2811/SRC antenna is an omnidirectional broadband vertical biconical dipole. All major components of the radiating and support structures are aluminum. The central feed section is protected and weatherproofed by a laminated fiberglass cover. The AS-2811/SRC may be used with any VHF/UHF transmitting and/or receiving equipment designed to operate within its frequency range and power handling limitations.

Installation: The antenna assembly mounting flange has eight holes for 3/8 inch bolts on a 4 - 3/4 inch diameter bolt circle. The overall diameter of the mounting flange is 5 - 3/4 inches. The antenna may be installed on a suitable mounting plate having matching bolt holes. The mounting plate must have a center hole to accommodate the antenna transmission line.

Considerations: The location of the AS-2811/SRC should be selected to provide maximum omnidirectional coverage within the physical constraints of the ship's structure. Propagation within the frequency range of this antenna is generally line-of-sight; therefore, antennas thalt are masked by surrounding structures may produce limited coverage in azimuth and/or elevation.
