Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the exact gain specification (3 dB or 5.15 dB) and power rating requirements against your system design before ordering. Confirm that the N-type female connector interface matches your existing coaxial cable assemblies. Ensure the bracket mounting hardware is compatible with your installation surface. Check for any regional regulatory compliance requirements regarding frequency usage in the 156-162 MHz band.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a robust, weather-resistant omnidirectional solution is required for VHF frequencies. Consider the physical dimensions and weight if space constraints exist on the mounting structure. Evaluate the need for high power handling capabilities if used in transmitter applications. Compare alternative gain options if maximum range is not critical.

Antennas RF Part Context
