WIMO Expert opinion

You optimize the performance of your antenna, as the counterweight set was specially developed for the ATAS-100/ATAS-120 and thus improves efficiency both when transmitting and receiving. The additional mass of the counterweight set makes the radiation flatter, which is good for DX signals. The installation of the set is very simple and you can quickly get back to work without risking long downtimes. With the KW counterweight set, you save yourself the need for complex wire constructions.

Even if the counterweight improves your system, it means a small additional investment, but remember, good results sometimes require just that. The set may slightly increase the overall weight of your mobile setup, but this is more than offset by the significantly improved performance.

Details

The well-known ATAS-100 and ATAS-120 antennas from YAESU were developed as vehicle antennas, but because of their compactness they are often used as portable or stationary antennas. Unfortunately, there is then often no sufficient counterweight, and the balcony railing or the magnetic base are unfortunately not sufficient.

The counterweight consists of a solid aluminium ring that is attached directly to the ATAS with clamping screws and can remain on the ATAS during alternating mobile or stationary use. Eight radial rods are screwed into the ring. With a diameter of 4 m, they are not perfect, but nevertheless form a useful counterweight. If you have enough space, you can also connect one or more wire radials for the 40m band.

The radial kit is also useful for mobile use if the antenna is not mounted on a fixed base but on a magnetic base, which often does not have enough capacitive coupling to the vehicle body.

Ideal for heavy antennas are the feet 11115.01 and 20029.
