Z-17 Carbon Telescoping Whip
The Z-17 Carbon is an ultra-lightweight 17-foot carbon fiber whip designed for portable HF operation where strength, weight, and packability matter most. Weighing just 7.55 ounces, its rigid carbon fiber construction minimizes mast loading and whip deflection while delivering excellent radiating performance in vertical and dipole configurations.
At its full 17-foot length, the Z-17 Carbon is resonant on 20 meters and pairs seamlessly with REZ loading coils for expanded band coverage. When combined with the XFORM 4:1 matching unit, it becomes an exceptionally capable multi-band vertical supporting 30 through 10 meters, making it an ideal solution for compact, efficient field deployments.
Fully compatible with the REZ Scout XF and XFORM ecosystem, the Z-17 Carbon is engineered for POTA & SOTA activations, portable operations, and emergency communications where rapid deployment and minimal carry weight are essential.
