- Is the SG7900 good for 70 cm?
- Yes. It is built around 430 MHz, with 7.6 dB gain and 150 W capacity, so it is the stronger band for this antenna.
- Can I use it with a magnet mount?
- No. Diamond does not recommend magnet mounts for this antenna. Use a drilled NMO-style body mount or a sturdy lip mount.
- Does it need a duplexer?
- Only for simultaneous dual-band transmit and receive. A single-radio dual-band setup works without one.
- How tall is it?
- 1.58 m, about 600 g. Check garage and drive-through clearance before fitting.
- What connector does it use?
- A UHF (PL-259/SO-239) connector, standard on most mobile ham radios.
- Is it better than a shorter dualband whip?
- It gives more 70 cm gain and power headroom, but a shorter whip is easier to live with in low-clearance vehicles.
