Overview

The 1/4 Wave VHF Antenna, 26.5" in length, is tuned to the frequency range 118~137MHz for use with airband radios.

The antenna is designed for mounting into the metal or composite skin of an aircraft. For use in glass fibre structures, the antenna is supplied with a self adhesive aluminium foil ground-plane.

To maximise performance. the antenna element is tuned to 1/4 wave length and manufactured from stainless steel. The solid element makes the antenna suitable for use with faster aircraft where it is not prone to deflection in the airflow.

The lead is fitted with an FME plug at the antenna feed and a BNC plug for direct connection to a radio. The lead is one metre long (three feet).

Features

  • Stainless steel 1/4 wave whip design
