The ZCG Scalar B43 broadband VHF sidemount dipole antenna is engineered for dependable communication performance across the 136?174 MHz high band. Constructed from high-strength aluminium, the B43 delivers long-lasting reliability in demanding environments where signal quality and consistency are essential. With a -120 dBic Passive Intermodulation (PIM) rating, it ensures exceptional signal purity and minimal intermodulation distortion, making it ideal for multi-channel and shared-site installations. Its broadband design supports seamless operation across the full VHF high band without retuning, allowing efficient use for both transmission and reception in modern communication networks. The N-type female connector and 1 m low-loss cable provide secure and stable connectivity, while the antenna?s 785 mm length and 0 dBd gain make it suitable for single or multi-dipole array configurations to increase gain and directionality where required. Recommended for fixed-site base stations, emergency services, and industrial communications, the B43 offers a balance of durability, performance, and low PIM reliability. For optimum results, ZCG recommends incorporating a band-pass or band-stop filter to maintain signal clarity and minimise interference between channels. Proudly engineered and manufactured in Australia, the ZCG Scalar B43 provides a robust, broadband solution for professional-grade VHF communications.
