This kit has what you need to replace or set up a GMRS or UHF antenna in the field. It includes a magnetic No Ground Plane (NGP) antenna mount, a UHF whip antenna with a threaded NMO base, and 13 feet of coax cable. The GMRS-POINT5 antenna works on any frequency between 406 and 470 MHz, including GMRS, and measures 14.5" in total.
The mounting base is molded from high-heat ABS. It has silver-soldered connections, gold-plated push pin contacts and an O-ring. The antenna is pre-tuned (cut) for UHF use, so it is ready to mount.
A ground plane surface, such as a metal roof, is recommended for best signal performance. A Tech Installation Guide covers antenna placement, surface preparation and installation. The center conductor inside the NMO antenna stud is not solid metal and can be damaged if overtightened. When installing the NMO nut, hold the wrench vertically to reduce torque.
