I-Pro Home Specifications

The I-Pro Home is constructed from aluminium alloy tubes with an insulating GRP rod in the centre. A 4:1 voltage transformer provides a balanced to unbalanced interface to the feeder and transforms the impedance to give a broad match across the HF bands.

Radiation pattern

The I-Pro Home is omnidirectional with a launch angle around 20 degrees

Installation

The I-Pro Home requires a ground post (not included) with a diameter of 32 - 50mm (1.25 - 2 inch) with a height above ground of 1m.

There is no maximum height for the I-Pro Home but the practicalities of lifting the antenna onto the ground post and guying it become more difficult if it is higher.There is little performance advantage in raising the height - it is more important to keep the installation a reasonable distance from buildings and other obstructions.
