The RFI CD29 VHF Air-Band Mopole Antenna is a ground-plane-independent, no-tune solution that delivers a true 3 dB gain across the entire 118 - 136 MHz aviation band. A rugged, impact-resistant base shields the integrated matching circuit from vibration and shock, while the tapered stainless-steel whip finished in a hard-wearing black powder coat€�flexes safely under low-clearance obstacles. Designed for standard MBC (PL-259) mobile mounts, the antenna drops straight into existing installations on fleet or emergency-response vehicles, ramp service trucks, and airside support equipment.
Product Features:
- The broadband design covers the full 118 - 136 MHz VHF air-band without field tuning, reducing installation time and complexity.
- Its ground-plane-independent Mopole architecture allows reliable operation from alternative mounting points such as mirrors, gutter brackets, or 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, 900 mm tapered stainless-steel whip is powder-coated for corrosion resistance and withstands knocks and bends without performance loss.
- It is rated for 50 W input power with 3 dBq vertical-polarised gain to extend VHF air-band coverage on the move.
- This antenna is Australian-designed and manufactured for proven durability in extreme environments.
Application Areas:
- It is ideal for airfield service vehicles; fuel tankers, baggage carts, and follow-me cars; that require reliable VHF communications with control towers and aircraft.
- It is suitable for emergency-response and ARFF (Aircraft Rescue & Fire Fighting) trucks requiring rugged, broadband air-band antennas.
- It performs reliably on fleet logistics or utility vehicles operating near airports and interfacing with aviation radio networks.
- It benefits ground support equipment where mounting locations lack a conventional metal roof ground plane.
- It is perfect for any mobile installation upgrading from narrow-band, tuneable whips to a maintenance-free broadband solution.
In the Box:
- 1 x RFI CD29-118136-00 VHF Air-Band Mopole Antenna Whip (118 - 136 MHz,3 dB gain).
