The RFI CD29 VHF Air-Band Mopole Antenna is a ground-plane-independent, no-tune solution that delivers 3 dB gain across the entire 118 - 136 MHz aviation band. A rugged, impact-resistant base shields the integrated matching circuit, while the 900 mm tapered stainless-steel whip finished in a hard-wearing black powder coat-flexes safely under low-clearance obstacles. Supplied with an MBC (PL-259) roof-mount base, the antenna drops straight into existing fleet or emergency-vehicle installations without costly re-engineering.
Product Features:
- The broadband design covers the full 118-136 MHz VHF air-band with no field tuning, cutting installation time and cost.
- The ground-plane-independent Mopole architecture supports alternative mounting points such as mirrors, gutter brackets, and roof rails.
- The factory-matched circuit, sealed in a virtually indestructible base, maintains a stable 50 Ω impedance and VSWR 1.8:1 across vehicle types.
- The flexible, powder-coated stainless-steel whip resists corrosion, vibration, and impacts without degrading performance.
- It is rated for 50 W power handling with vertical polarisation and 3 dBq gain to extend air-band coverage on the move.
- It is Australian-designed and manufactured for proven durability in extreme environments.
Application Areas:
- These antennas are ideal for airfield service vehicles; fuel tankers, baggage carts, and“follow-me"cars; requiring reliable air-band communications with control towers and aircraft.
- They are suitable for emergency-response and ARFF (Aircraft Rescue & Firefighting) trucks that need rugged, broadband antennas.
- They perform reliably on fleet logistics or utility vehicles operating near airports and interfacing with aviation radio networks.
- They benefit ground-support equipment where roof-mount ground planes are unavailable, or space is constrained.
- They are perfect for any mobile installation upgrading from narrow-band, tune-required whips to a maintenance-free broadband solution.
