THE G5RV WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED TO WORK IN
 EMERGENCY AND REMOTE LOCATIONS, IT HAS BECOME
ONE OF THE STAPLE ANTENNAS IN THE HAM WORLD.

 

The G5RV Made by RadioWavz  was originally developed by Louis Varney in 1946, whose call sign was G5RV/SK  That is where we get the name, G5RV.

The basic RadioWavz G5RV antenna measures only 102 feet across the top for 80 thru 10 meter operation, and is fed at the center through a low loss twinlead feed-stub. The interaction between the radiating section and the feed-stub makes the G5RV usually easy to match on all-bands from 80 through 10 meters with an ordinary low-cost antenna tuner. (An antenna tuner is required to make this antenna work on multiple bands.

With its small size, it provides "almost" dipole equivalent (136ft) coverage on 80 and 40 meters.  The  antenna was originally designed to work on 20m  with 4 to 6 low angle lobes reaching out in all directions which makes it a very popular antenna on the higher frequency bands. For many this is the go to antenna of choice.

Their are several verities of the G5RV offered by RadioWavz.

• G5RV JR measures only 51ft end to end with a twinlead section only 18ft. Good antenna to work 40m - 6m
• G5RV Lite  measures only 67ft end to end with a twinlead section only 28ft. Good compromise for people who want the frequency performance of the G5RV in a limited space environment. Very popular in small city lots. Works 80m-6m with a good tuner.
• G5RV  measures only 102ft end to end with a twinlead section only 28ft. With a good tuner you can talk to the world!! Works 80m-6m with a good tuner.
• G5RV CL Designed to work as a collinear antenna on 20m measures 102ft with a 28ft twinlead section. Works great on 80m-10m with a good tuner.
• G5RV MAX measures only 204ft end to end with a twinlead section only 56ft. Great 160m performer.Works 160m-10m with a good tuner. 

All the G5RV antennas are made with stealth operations in mind.

ONE OF THE MOST WORRY FREE ANTENNAS YOU COULD OWN!!

BUILT TO LAST !!

GREAT FOR USE AT THE LAKE, OR THE CABIN, OR ANY WHERE YOU CAN IMAGINE!!

OUT LASTS AND OUT PERFORMS ALL OTHER ANTENNA SYSTEMS LIKE IT!!

The G5RV family is made with of high quality UV insulated 14ga stranded wire on the top and a heavy duty 300 ohm ladder line. This 300 Ohm twin lead is heavy duty PVC made to last in the most inclement of environments. You will not have to worry about the impedance going south when bad weather hits. This twinlead was designed with the elements in mind. The twinlead terminates into a SO 239 connector. These antennas are made to last. They are designed to be light, easy to work with, and easy to service.

Introducing the G5RV Lite

80-10 meter performance with just 67 ft.

So you don’t have room for a full G5?
You want to work 80m and you don’t want a G5RV Jr?
The G5RV lite is a great compromise. It gives you similar performance of a full G5 with almost half the space!!! Special manufactured coils help give you the G5RV performance in almost the same space of a G5RV Jr.!!!
