Bandwidth70 – 85 MHz 3% FIELD TRIM

For the VHF range 70 to 85 MHz, the BFB1 ground independent mobile antenna features a stainless steel tuning tip which can be trimmed to any 3% bandwidth you desire using an SWR meter. Standing 1.83 metres tall, the antenna is primarily designed for installation on vehicles operating in off-road and heavy duty situations.

This model offers 2.1 dBi gain and is ideally suited for the emergency services, construction and mining industries.

Typical mounting positions include a vehicle bull bar or guard using the appropriate bracket. When mounting to a vehicle, we recommend installing the antenna onto either the 1269 stainless steel beehive spring or 1270 heavy duty steel barrel spring to dampen vibrations while travelling.

BFB1 can also be installed in a fixed location and used as a Base Station antenna.

The radiating element is enclosed inside a 10 mm fibreglass rod. The UHF Female connector located in the side of the antenna mounting base allows easy removal of the feeder cable.

Bandwidth148 - 174 MHz 3 MHz Field Tune

Field tuneable to any 3 MHz bandwidth within the VHF frequency range 148 to 174 MHz, the CT160 low profile, rugged and covert antenna is an ideal choice in situations where a traditional whip antenna would be vulnerable to damage or vandalism.

Constructed from aluminium and delrin with a rubber mounting gasket, the antenna measures just 540 mm long, 60 mm wide and 110 mm high. It mounts to any flat metal surface by drilling seven holes; six for bolts and one larger for the N-Female connector.

The metal surface acts as a ground plane, the antenna will produce a near omnidirectional radiation pattern with 2.1 dBi gain.

The N-Female connector protrudes through the metal surface to allow your feeder cable connected from underneath to be concealed and protected from damage. The thick rubber gasket provides a waterproof seal.

Typical applications suited for this low profile antenna include :

Whilst it is appropriate to calculate a dimension for a quarter wave whip, the final tuned length will depend heavily on the size, shape and nature of the ground plane. This can differ from a calculated length.

Remove the cap from the whip and always start your fine trimming at a longer length than calculated ! It is important to take your SWR meter readings with the cap back in place. Trim the whip length very gradually. Glue the cap permanently in place when finished.

Bandwidth400 - 530 MHz Select from Table

The low profile and rugged CT400 series of UHF mobile antennas are an ideal choice in situations where a traditional whip would be vulnerable to damage or vandalism.

Constructed from aluminium and delrin with a rubber mounting gasket, the antenna measures just 210 mm long, 60 mm wide and 60 mm high. It mounts to any flat metal surface by drilling five holes; four for bolts and one larger for the N-Female connector.

The metal surface acts as a ground plane and the antenna will produce a near omnidirectional radiation pattern with 2.1 dBi gain.

The N-Female connector protrudes through the metal surface to allow your feeder cable connected from underneath to be concealed and protected from damage. The thick rubber gasket provides a waterproof seal.

Bandwidth88 – 108 MHz Full FM Band

CT90 is a low profile, rugged and covert mobile antenna factory tuned to receive FM radio transmissions. Virtually unbreakable, this model is the ideal choice in situations where a traditional long whip would be vulnerable to damage or vandalism.

Constructed from aluminium and delrin with a neoprene rubber gasket, the antenna measures 800 mm long, 60 mm wide and 100 mm high.

CT90 mounts to any flat metal surface by drilling seven holes; six for bolts and one larger for the N-Female connector. The metal surface must be at least 1.2 metres square and acts as a ground plane. The antenna will then produce a near omnidirectional radiation pattern, the same as a 1/4 wave whip.

An N-Female connector protrudes through the metal surface to allow your feeder cable connected from underneath to be concealed and protected from damage. The thick neoprene rubber gasket provides a waterproof seal.
