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.
The antenna features a ground independent design, ensuring stable and predictable performance without reliance on a ground plane, which is critical for installation across diverse vehicle types and mounting conditions. With a 2.1 dBi gain and 25W power handling capability, it delivers reliable signal transmission and reception for VHF communication systems operating at the specified frequency.
Incorporating a practical ?quick-fit? integrated UHF male (PL259) connection, the VHF-H173 enables fast and secure installation onto compatible mounting bases, simplifying deployment and maintenance. Its compact 430mm length provides a low-profile solution for installations where clearance and discretion are important without sacrificing communication performance.
As part of the ZCG Scalar VHF antenna range, the VHF-H173 offers a robust and flexible VHF helical whip antenna solution, delivering dependable performance, ease of installation, and long-term durability for both mobile and fixed communication applications.
