- What frequency range does the BMLPV700 cover?
- It is tuned for 740–870 MHz. That covers much of the public safety, business radio and some LTE bands, but not VHF, UHF 400 MHz or 900 MHz systems.
- Is it a magnetic or permanent mount?
- The listing does not state the mount type. Check the product data sheet or ask the seller before ordering, because low-profile antennas are usually drilled permanent mounts.
- Will it work for FirstNet or LTE?
- It covers 740–870 MHz, which overlaps some LTE and FirstNet bands. Confirm your carrier's exact frequency and the radio's connector before relying on it.
- Does the low profile reduce range?
- Usually a little. A low-profile antenna trades some gain and height for discretion, so expect shorter range in fringe areas than a taller whip.
- What is moisture sensitivity level 1?
- MSL 1 means unlimited floor life at normal humidity, so the antenna can be stored and installed outdoors without special dry handling.
- What comes in the box?
- The listing does not detail the contents. Expect the antenna itself; mounting hardware and cable are not confirmed, so verify before buying.
