Tactical LVP: The 16' Rapid-Deploy HF Asset
The 'Goldilocks' solution for tactical EMCOMM teams, POTA enthusiasts, and high-wind HOA environments.
The Greyline 16' DX System is the ultimate intersection of portability and power. Designed as a Tactical LVP (Low Visibility Profile) radiator, this 16-foot Permanent Property Asset offers the structural rigidity required for high-wind coastal regions and the rapid-setup capabilities demanded by Emergency Management (EMCOMM) Professionals.
The Rapid-Response Standard Refined for high-velocity deployment, the 16' system is our most popular choice for Tactical Field Operations and residential stealth. It provides the low noise floor of our larger VDA arrays but in a 16-foot profile that a single operator can have on the air in minutes. Whether you are providing interoperability during a disaster or chasing DX from a deed-restricted community, the 16' Greyline is the ruggedized choice for when the grid goes down.
