SKP-TD-2.0
170' (51.8 m)/60' (18.2 m)Min HF TACTICAL DIPOLE ANTENNA | 1.8-54 MHZ
Shakespeare® SKP-TD 2.0 is a rugged, broadband HF Tactical Dipole antenna engineered for reliable short- to long-range communications in demanding military and tactical field environments. Developed in collaboration with Chameleon Antenna, the SKP-TD 2.0 features a rugged design that is 30% lighter than comparable antennas, providing enhanced portability, simplified operation, and rapid field deployment. Incorporating design improvements based on years of rigorous field use, the antenna delivers dependable performance across a continuous 1.8–54 MHz frequency range without requiring adjustments or, in most applications, an antenna tuner or coupler.
