Global Skyware 2.4m Receiver Transmitter (Rx/Tx) Class IIIH Antenna System

The 2.4m Receiver Transmittter (RxTx) Class III High Wind Antenna System is designed to withstand winds of up to 150mph.

The reflector is thermoset-molded for strength and surface accuracy. Molded into the rear of the reflector is a network of support ribs which not only strengthens the antenna, but also helps to sustain its critical parabolic shape.
