Max power: 100W (SSB/CW) ^^ Optimized for 20m Operation The GRA-CF5200 is long enough to achieve a quarter-wave resonance on the 20-meter band (around 14 MHz) when fully extended. This means it can be used directly on 20m without a loading coil. ^^ For lower-frequency bands such as 40m, 60m, or 80m, a loading coil is required to bring the antenna into resonance and achieve efficient radiation.
