CSV17 - The CSV17 Pneumatic Antenna Launcher is the compact 17 inch long model. It has two inches less barrel and a one inch smaller diameter chamber. This results in a more compact launcher which has 80% of the performance of the larger 19 inch model, reaching in excess of 150 feet in line launching trajectory. The pressure chamber has been optimized for use with a smaller volume of compressed gas, allowing more efficient use of air and better compatibility with the small 12 gram CO2 cartridges. The CSV17 is designed to fit in a standard 18 inch tool case to provide enhanced portability for field applications.
The Mini Coaxial reel is designed to fit in the PADS case. The circumference of this reel is about 15 inches, and it feeds line well. It comes preloaded with 150 yards of Spectra type high visibility launch line.
