Frequency Band
HF (High Frequency): 30 to 50 MHz.
VHF (Very High Frequency): 150 to 174 MHz.
UHF (Ultra High Frequency): 406 to 512 MHz.
CEL (Cellular Band): 806 to 896 MHz.
PCS (Personal Communications Service): 1850 to 1990 MHz.
GPS (Global Positioning Satellite): 1575 MHz.
MIC (Microwave): 1100 to 2500 MHz
VID (Video): 2000 to 3000 MHz.
* Higher and lower frequencies are available on special request
NB (Narrow Band): Indicates that the antenna does not cover the entire frequency band therefore a center operating frequency is required to factory tune antenna.
SB (SuperbandŽ): Indicates that the antenna covers the entire frequency band.
DB (Dual Band): Two frequency bands are combined on one antenna.
Antenna System
An antenna system includes everything needed to install the antenna in one package, including antenna, cable, couplers, connectors and filters (if needed).
Covert Fender Mount
Exactly matches the antenna supplied by the auto manufacturer. For this reason, orders must contain information on the year, make, model, and trim line of car. Antenna may be mounted on the front or rear fender depending on the vehicle. Available in HF, VHF, UHF, CEL, VHF/UHF, and VHF/CEL.
Covert Cellular Style
Modeled after popular cell phone antennas used for hands-free operation or tracking systems.
Available in VHF, UHF, VHF/UHF and VHF/CEL frequency ranges.
- GLMT (Glass mount): Mounted on glass on side or rear window.
- TKLP (Trunk Lip Mount): Mounted on trunk lid of sedans.
- MGNT (Magnet Mount): Magnet in base to quickly mount on roof or trunk.
- ROOF (Roof Mount): Mounted in center of roof.
- Closed Coil: Mast has solid coil look.
- Open Coil: Mast has a curly-Q coil.
Concealed Internal Antenna System
Antenna is mounted inside the vehicle above the headliner near the rear or side window of the car,
van, or SUV. Available in CEL, or CEL/PCS.
Surveillance Van Antenna System
Up to four antennas are encased inside a 10-foot PVC pipe commonly used by contractors. Used on roof racks of vans or trucks. Available in multiple combinations of VHF, UHF, CEL and MIC.
Tactical Antennas
Antennas specifically designed to be used in field operations away from established facilities, or to improve range and operation of portable radios. Antennas are compact and lightweight and, along with cable and various mounting options, come with a case for easy portability. Compact Portable Antenna available in VHF and UHF. Field Portable Antenna available in single or double kits with VHF, UHF and CEL.
Public Safety Antennas
New innovative antennas for non-covert police cars, fire and emergency vehicles, tow trucks, etc. --- any vehicle using a light bar. Antennas are easily mounted on top of plastic or metal light bars, eliminating need to drill extra holes in vehicle. Specifically designed not to interfere with other light bar components such as strobe or LED lights on most popular light bars. Antennas are available in VHF, UHF, and CEL.
Low Profile Antennas
These antennas extend no more than 6 inches above the body of the vehicle for use in rugged environments where longer antennas would be broken. Commonly used on buses, trains, and trucks. Available in rugged cast aluminum in VHF and UHF; also, incased in an ABS plastic radome in UHF, CEL, and CEL/GPS.
Electrical Specs
Frequency Range (MHz): The range of frequencies in which antennas will operate regardless of bandwidth.
Bandwidth (MHz): The difference between the lowest and highest frequency of operation as defined by a 2:1 SWR.*
Power Rating (Watts): The maximum safe continuous amount of power that can be applied to antenna without damage.
Isolation (db): The amount of attenuation between two ports of a coupler.
Gain (dbi): The amount of gain antenna presents when compared to an isotropic source unless otherwise defined.
Gain (dbd): The amount of gain antenna presents as compared to a dipole antenna.
Pattern: A description of how the antenna energy is focused, either omni-directional or directional.
Mechanical Specs
Mounting Style: A description of how the antenna is to be affixed to a mounting surface. For example, peel and stick, glass mount, magnet mount, trunk lip mount, NMO mount, stake mount, lanyard mount, etc.
Finish: Indicates the color and process applied to the antenna, for example, black chrome, bright chrome, black anodized, black painted, etc.
Maximum Height (Inches): The total height of the mast and mounting assembly as measured from the antenna base to the tip, including any protective ends.
Collapsed Height (Inches): For certain models used to demonstrate the portability of the unit, measured as the largest dimension when the unit is collapsed.
Weight (Pounds): Total shipping weight of unit, and all associated components, cable couplers, etc.not including packing materials.
Mast Appearance: A description of how the mast looks to distinguish different standard styles, i.e. closed coil, open coil, telescoping, fixed, spiral.
Mast or Radiating Material: Identifies antenna whip material to help identify how the unit will perform electrically or in various environmental conditions, i.e.: stainless steel, cast aluminum, tubular aluminum, fiberglass, rubber-coated Nitinol, etc.
Mounting Hardware (Supplied): A description of the hardware kit that is included with the antenna, i.e.: VHB adhesive, stainless steel screw, OEM hardware, NMO hardware, etc.
Cable Kit: Identifies the transmission line material used to interconnect between antenna and two-way radio equipment. Kit is comprised of a specified length of cable such as RG-58/U,
or low loss cable, and one connector.
Feed line: Cable that is a integral part of the antenna and cannot be removed and may not be substituted with another cable type.
Connector (Choose One): Identifies choice of one standard connector that will connect the cable or feed line to the two-way radio equipment. For example: PL-259, mini-UHF, BNC, TNC, etc.
