This vehicle mount antenna manufactured in Australia by Broadband Propagation covers military and civilian frequencies between 25 to 500 MHz with a power rating of 100 watts continuous.
Gain over the band is comparable to a tuned ¼ wave whip antenna. Tuning is automatic and all tuning elements are incorporated within the antenna and base. The antenna achieves -10 dBi @ 25 MHz, 0 dBi @ 100 MHz, and 2 dBi @ 500 MHz.
This durable antenna measures 3.25 m in length and is mounted on a rugged base unit with heavy duty stainless steel spring. The base is fitted with mounting holes of UK/NATO 6 hole, or USA 4 hole pattern, and is suitable for all types of vehicle mounting including Tank/ASLAV/Bushmaster mounting
Fabricated from fibreglass, the antenna has high impact survival and incorporates high voltage power line protection via a Polyolefin outer jacket covering the full length of the antenna.
