Broadband VHF high band sidemount dipole, 304 stainless steel, 148-174 MHz, 250W, N-type female, 1.0m cable, 0 dBd – 785mm

Broadband VHF high band sidemount dipole, 304 stainless steel, 136-174 MHz, 250W, N-type female, 1.0m cable, 0 dBd - 785mm

Product code: B43SS

The ZCG Scalar B43SS broadband VHF sidemount dipole antenna is designed for reliable communication performance across the 136?174 MHz high band. Constructed from premium 304 stainless steel, the B43SS offers superior corrosion resistance and durability, making it the ideal choice for coastal, marine, and other harsh environmental installations where long service life and mechanical strength are critical. The B43SS provides broadband coverage across the full VHF high band without requiring retuning, ensuring consistent performance for both transmission and reception across multiple frequencies. Its robust design and high-quality N-type female connector with a 1 m low-loss cable deliver stable and secure connectivity. With a 785 mm overall length and 0 dBd gain, the antenna can be used as a single unit or stacked in an array configuration to achieve higher gain and improved directional control when required. While not PIM rated due to the stainless steel construction, the B43SS maintains excellent RF performance for general communication networks, base stations, and critical infrastructure systems where environmental resilience is prioritised, see our B43 for PIM rated requirements. Proudly engineered and manufactured in Australia, the ZCG Scalar B43SS provides a dependable, corrosion-resistant broadband antenna solution for demanding VHF communication applications.
