The Hy-Gain TH-5 Mk2 is a 5-element three-band beam antenna designed for operation in the 10, 15 and 20 metre amateur bands. Broadbanding is accomplished through the use of two fully trapped driven elements. Stainless steel hardware and clamps are used on all electrical connections and a 50Ω BN-86 balun and preformed feed straps are included. The antenna is designed to fit masts from 1.9" to 2.5" (50 mm to 63.5 mm) in diameter.
