The RFI CD29-148174-53 VHF High-Band 3 dB Broadband Antenna (148-174 MHz) with MBC Base, 5m cable and no connector provides greater bandwidth coverage without sacrificing antenna performance. CD29 antenna features a tough base that protects its integrated matching circuit from damage, ensuring long-lasting performance in challenging environments. One of the key features of the CD29 antenna is its flexible stainless steel whip, which is powder-coated in black for added resilience. This whip is highly flexible, allowing it to withstand bends and impacts without compromising its performance. Additionally, the antenna is designed to fit standard PL259 (MBC) mobile mounts, making it easy to upgrade existing installations without the need for extensive modifications. The integrated matching circuit of the CD29 antenna is housed in a rugged, impact-resistant base, further enhancing its durability. This base protects the circuit from damage due to vibrations, shocks, and environmental factors, ensuring consistent performance over time. The CD29 antenna is ideal for use in fleet vehicles, public safety vehicles, and other mobile applications where reliable communication is essential. Its broadband design allows it to provide excellent coverage across the VHF air-band frequency range of 138-166 MHz without the need for tuning in the field, reducing installation costs and complexity.
