The AP7249 is a VHF 2×5/8 base antenna, a vertical monopole with ground plane and a high-efficiency omnidirectional radiation pattern, with 8,15 dBi gain, designed to operate on the 2 meter band.
This antenna is tuned to 220 MHz and is made to order.
Built of high-quality aluminum, it has an external chrome-plated brass coil, with highly insulated connector junction points that prevent infiltration and provide excellent performance at high RF power. This VHF base antenna is a Steelbras best seller, used in every Brazilian state and abroad.
In addition, the VHF 2×5/8 Base Antenna – AP7249 features:
– A stainless steel ring at the base allowing installation on tubes from 25mm to 35mm (internal mounting) or from 43mm to 46mm with a 2mm wall (external mounting).
– An international-standard "Ringo" coaxial connector for easy connection to cables with male UHF connectors.
– Connector sealing rubbers for two cable sizes, RG58 and RG213.
A great advantage of this VHF base antenna is that pre-tuning can be done on a base on the ground: simply adjust the length of the telescopic elements (no cutting needed) following the tuning table in the product's technical description. Once tuned, just install it at the chosen location; it requires no further adjustment if tuning was done correctly using an SWR meter.
