ZN5-27-12 is a ground independent stainless steel whip factory tuned for 27 MHz land CB radio communications. The chrome plated brass and delrin ferrule fits onto any antenna mounting base with a 5/16"–26 TPI thread.
Standing 1.2 metres tall and rated for up to 50 watts input power, the antenna delivers 2.1 dBi gain.
Since this ZN5-27-12 top whip is fully ground independent, antenna bases can therefore be mounted in numerous locations where no metal exists, either fixed or mobile.
The ZCG Scalar antenna bases listed below are recommended and a range of brackets are also available.
