- What frequency range does it cover?
- It tunes across 400 to 512 MHz, the UHF business and public safety band. Trim it for the frequency you transmit on.
- What radio connector does it use?
- It terminates in a BNC connector, common on handhelds and many mobile radios. Check your radio's antenna port before buying.
- How long is the cable?
- The included cable is 15 feet, which lets you mount the antenna away from the radio.
- Do I need to tune it?
- Yes. It is a tunable whip, so you cut it to length for your operating frequency. Measure and check SWR before final trimming.
- Can I use it as a scanner antenna?
- It will receive across its range, but it is built for transmit on a specific frequency. A dedicated wideband scanner antenna covers more.
- What mounting does it need?
- It is a panel-mount design, so plan on a drilled hole or bracket. The 152 mm whip is short enough for tight spaces.
