BFB1 Ground Independent VHF Low Band Mobile Antenna, 70 to 75 MHz, 2.1 dBi gain, field trim to 3% bandwidth
For the VHF low band range 70 to 85 MHz, the BFB1 ground independent mobile antenna features a stainless steel tuning tip which can be trimmed to any 3% bandwidth you desire using an SWR meter.
Standing 1.83 metres tall, the antenna is primarily designed for installation on vehicles operating in off-road and heavy duty situations.
This model offers 2.1 dBi gain and is ideally suited for the emergency services, construction and mining industries.
Typical mounting positions include a vehicle bull bar or guard using any bracket with 12.7 mm (1/2") minimum diameter hole. When mounting to a vehicle, we recommend installing the antenna onto either the 1269 stainless steel barrel spring or 1270 heavy duty stainless steel parallel spring to dampen vibrations while travelling.
BFB1 can also be installed in a fixed location and used as a Base Station antenna.
The radiating element is enclosed inside a 10 mm fibreglass rod. The UHF Female connector located in the side of the antenna mounting base allows easy removal of the feeder cable.
The 7900 UHF Male solder connector to will suit this antenna and is available to order separately together with RG58 feeder cable. Alternatively, ZCG Scalar can supply an assembled cable set of a length you specify with UHF Male connectors fitted.
An Installation and Tuning Guide is provided with the antenna.
