More powerful than any single element dipole antenna, the
ST-3 vertical is
probably one of the best things ever to happen to FM/AM listeners in urban and
fringe reception areas alike.
Concentrating its reception "focus" only on the horizontal plane, the ST-3 is
capable of getting more signal to your FM/AM tuner with less "flutter" and
"fading."
The ST-3 is also less susceptible to "multipath interference," due to its
unique vertical polarization.
Right from its PH17-7 stainless steel whip through the gold-plated coil
coupling to the stainless-steel encased, precision-wound loading coil, the ST-3
is built tough. Yet it passes the most fragile of FM/AM signals to your FM
tuner's circuitry with the kind of strength sometimes found only with much
larger, multi-element antennas.
The ST-3 is a 1/2 wave design, commercial quality antenna, built to withstand
the rigors of rough weather. Being a 1/2 wave design and not requiring a "ground
plane" or counterpoise," it is equally at home mounted on a mast, a balcony,
hanging in the window or from a tree. The ST-3 also offers 2.5db of gain to the
FM/AM signal, greatly enhancing FM/AM tuning performance,and signal strength.
The ST-3 comes to you ready to install. It is 54 inches in length, and
furnished with a stainless steel "L" mounting bracket and a 25 ft. coaxial
lead-in cable for connection to 75 ohm antenna inputs.
