Racal Antennas strategic marketing alliance with The Shakespeare Company has enabled a broader portfolio of products to be offered to the market.
The 5000-9300 VHF low profile vehicle whip has been developed to meet the requirement within the VHF band 30 to 88MHz for broadband operation. It has a highly efficient matching network that maintains excellent electrical performance over the full band. The antenna has one low profile thin taper stainless steel whip section, mounted on a rugged high pressure moulded composite base using a robust stainless steel coil spring to reduce impact shock.
