  • The antenna tops can be ordered separately. The large 2.1 metre ZN3-AM/FM-12 antenna top can be removed and substituted with the shorter ZN3-AM/FM-11 top (or vice-versa) whenever appropriate.
  • A precision machined marine grade aluminium ferrule prevents water and dust ingress giving the antenna a longer service life.
  • The machined aluminum radome cap stops water and dust ingress into the radome.
  • For each ZN3 model, there is an identical matching antenna available for 477 MHz UHF CB Radio.

The heavy duty stainless steel barrel spring base bolts into any bracket with a minimium 12.7 mm (½") diameter hole.
