| A KIO Technology hexagonal beam in use by the May 2010 EX4 DX pedition. It was reported by the team to have done a great job. |
The KIO hexagonal beam is professionally engineered for superior performance over
the old original hex beam configuration. It is constructed of the highest quality
materials. The baseplate is of precision, laser drilled 6061 T6 aircraft aluminum and
stainless steel hardware and there has never been a reported failure among
hundreds of users. The advanced technology air coaxial center post made of
aluminum and stainless steel has no wires or coax cable to cause problems brought
about by moisture or flexing. Teflon terminal insulators provide protection for use at
the legal limit of power
The spreader arms are thick, tough fiberglass tubes impervious to storms and the
support cords are made of Kevlar covered with UV resistant Dacron and rated at over
700 pounds break strength. All wire sets are pvc insulated and pre-measured
perfectly for performance right out of the box. All ferrous metals are 100% stainless
steel and all non metallic components are of the highest quality UV resistant
materials.
When you take delivery of our beam you will NOT get a crate of hundreds of parts and
a 36 page manual to sort out and spend days of tedious construction. This is not a
kit; it is a plug-and-play beam, ready for action.
All beams are capable of the Legal Limit of power. Six meters is available as an
option on all beams.
