The Sirio Starduster M-400 is a classic, high-power 1/4λ ground plane base station antenna engineered in Italy for CB 27MHz and 10-metre amateur radio use. With 1000W continuous power handling (3000W short time CW), a tunable frequency range of 26.5–30 MHz, and a generous bandwidth of ≥2 MHz at SWR ≤2, it delivers reliable omnidirectional performance across the full CB and 10m band. Standing at 5040mm (16.54ft) tall and designed for on-mast mounting, it's constructed from aluminium, chromed brass, and nylon — a proven combination that has made the Starduster a long-standing favourite among CB and HAM operators worldwide.
