Call 0345 2300 599Diamond X-510MH 144/430MHz High-Power Dual Band Base Antenna
The high-power version of Diamond's popular X-510 series, offering 350W power handling, excellent 2m and 70cm gain and an SO-239 antenna connection.
The Diamond X-510MH is a high-performance 144/430MHz dual-band base antenna designed for operators who want the excellent gain and coverage of the X-510 platform with substantially increased power handling.
Offering up to 350 watts maximum power handling, the X-510MH is particularly well suited to higher-power VHF and UHF installations while retaining the same impressive 8.3dBi gain on 2 metres and 11.7dBi gain on 70 centimetres.
Unlike the X-510N, which uses an N-type socket, the X-510MH is fitted with an SO-239 UHF female connector, making it convenient for installations using standard PL-259 terminated coaxial cable.
High-power design for demanding 2m and 70cm base station installations.
8.3dBi on 144MHz and 11.7dBi on 430MHz for excellent fixed-station performance.
UHF female socket for direct connection to coax fitted with a PL-259 plug.
Large dual-band vertical designed for maximum gain from a fixed installation.
High-Power Version of the X-510
The X-510MH is closely related to the well-known Diamond X-510N, sharing its overall 5.2 metre length, dual-band design and high gain figures.
The key difference is its increased 350W power rating, compared with 200W for the standard X-510N, making the X-510MH an excellent choice for stations using higher-power VHF or UHF equipment.
Same high-gain 2m/70cm format as the X-510N, but with 350W power handling and an SO-239 connector.
High-Gain Phased Vertical Design
The X-510MH uses a phased vertical element system to achieve high omnidirectional gain on both amateur bands.
- 144MHz: 3 x 5/8-wave C-Load phased vertical
- 430MHz: 8 x 5/8-wave C-Load phased vertical
This makes it particularly suitable for repeater access, local and regional simplex operation and other fixed-station applications where strong horizontal coverage is required.
Rugged Fibreglass Construction
The antenna elements are protected inside a durable FRP fibreglass outer shell, providing a robust and weather-resistant installation suitable for permanent outdoor use.
The antenna is rated for wind speeds of up to 40 metres per second and is suitable for mounting on masts approximately 30 to 60mm in diameter.
