Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation when sourcing, as listings may reference Laird Technologies or TE Connectivity for this part number. Confirm that the NMO connector type matches the vehicle mount hardware. Ensure the operating frequency range aligns with the required 136MHz to 174MHz spectrum. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the deployment environment.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring a high-gain vertical radiator in the VHF band. The magnetic mounting allows for non-permanent installation on metal surfaces. Consider the physical height constraint of approximately 495mm for vehicle clearance. The 100W power rating suits standard two-way radio transceivers. Verify compatibility with existing NMO mounts before procurement.
