Product code: VHF-H173

The VHF-H173 from ZCG Scalar is a compact and highly durable ground independent VHF helical whip antenna engineered for reliable operation at 173 MHz, making it ideal for fleet communications, public safety networks, and industrial radio systems requiring consistent performance in demanding environments.

Designed with a helical wound flexible radiator, the VHF-H173 offers exceptional resilience in applications where antennas are exposed to impact, vibration, or constant movement, such as on vehicles operating in rough terrain or confined spaces. Its super flexible whip construction allows it to absorb knocks and deflection without compromising structural integrity or RF performance, making it well suited to transport, utilities, mining, and emergency service vehicle installations.
