The 3007-900 VHF Elevated centre fed antenna provides improved performance where an increase in omni-directional range is required over poorly located ground based equipment and vehicle mounted whips. The antenna is a centre fed, broadband whip for inter-operation with vehicle mounted, man-pack and portable radios, as well as other elevated antenna sites. It is rugged and able to withstand a wide range of conditions and environments.
The antenna kit consists of two whip sections, base assembly and carrying bag. The radiating element includes an upper and lower section constructed from glass-fibre using high quality stainless steel end fittings. The elements, which screws together, are mounted on a rugged thermoplastic base assembly, which is then mounted on aluminium base casting fitted with a 24mm spigot. The complete antenna packs down into a small drawstring bag together with a sleeve bag for the antenna whip sections.
