Due to Popular demand, the copper
pipe antenna outlined in the sstran
website is now available for purchase.
If you own a sstran AMT 3000 tx and
require an antenna, this is the
place to look! If you do not own an AMT 3000
transmitter, you need to confirm that your
transmitter can accomodate this antenna before you purchase one from
us.
SPECIFICS ABOUT THIS ANTENNA; This antenna is constructed of copper pipe, it is adjustable via hose clamps, and is easily tuned to your frequency between 1500 and 1700kHz. It includes a prewound coil, which allows you to tune your antenna precisely.
We recommend you install a ground system, and we have one already built for this antenna.
PRICING: Antenna and Coil: $120.00 This includes 9.5 feet of copper pipe and all it's connections, soldered ready to use. The coil is hand-wound, with the taps tinned and ready for tuning. Insulators: The antenna comes attached to the insulator. Mast Pipe: The antenna comes attached to the mast pipe. It is built to be placed into the ground as is or, into another iron pipe if you need to do this. The mast pipe is ready to accept your ground system or the ground system you may order with your antenna. 4 feet of mast pipe is recommended to start, but not included due to weight limits in shipping. You will need to purchase a correct length with a male end. These are available at Home Depot & Lowes, which sell them with a male end on each end.
The mast pipe included is about a
foot long; in order to accept the
ground system.
Should you choose to raise the antenna above ground more or install it
elsewhere than in the ground, you will need to invest in more mast
pipe;
at last look, this material costs about $40.00 for 10 feet without a
male edge. We recommend you install this antenna in the ground; should
you decide
to install it in another location, it will work. I can not advise on
these locations.
Shipping: The unit will come to you in a box about 5 foot long and 7 inches around. The UPS shipping locally is for $25.00. That is our basic figure. If you live outside this area, the shipping cost will increase. We will issue you a shipping quote from UPS based upon your location, plus $5.00 shipping and handling. You may elect to insure your package. Be sure to let us know if you would like insurance included in the price quote.

Our function is to build the antenna correctly, provide you with a legal antenna and hooking it up is really up to you. I am available via email should you have any difficulty hooking it up. If you own an AMT 3000 transmitter, and have difficulty hooking this antenna up, you may write support@sstran.com .
If you bought a SStran Transmitter,
you have an option now and in the
future of adapting it to accept a base loaded antenna.
If you bought a different transmitter, it is up to you to see if you can use this type of antenna.
