Aircraft antenna VF10-185

VHF

The VF10-185 is a vertically-polarized, VHF communications antenna, which operates over the frequency range of 118 to 136 MHz. The antenna consists of a radiating element surrounded by a fiberglass radome. The matching circuitry is incorporated into the base of the antenna structure. The antenna is equipped with a thru- hold for mounting one end of an ADF sense wire antenna. The internal components are foamed in place to avoid problems that may arise due to shock and vibration.
