Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify part status as obsolete or discontinued through official TE Connectivity channels before procurement planning. Confirm availability of alternative models within the CRX150 series if this specific variant is no longer produced. Ensure compatibility with existing UHF female connectors and bracket mounting hardware. Review technical documentation for any product change notices affecting performance specifications.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model only when specific requirements include a 150-174MHz frequency range and 500W power handling. The 412cm height necessitates adequate physical space and structural support for bracket mounting. Verify that the UHF female interface matches the connected cable assembly. Consider environmental ratings and RoHS compliance status for regulatory adherence in the target application environment.
