The GID series of UHF elevated feed ground independent mobile antennas offer effective performance with 6.2 dBi gain. Their modest size and light weight design make these antennas an excellent choice for mounting in various positions on a vehicle or to a truck mirror using the appropriate bracket.
Manufactured in Australia by ZCG Scalar, there are various models each factory tuned to cover a common 20 MHz bandwidth in the UHF frequency range 450 to 490 MHz. Height varies according to frequency from 87 cm down to just 78 cm tall.
The high quality brass, delrin, chrome and stainless steel components also make these GID antennas perfectly suited for use in the harsh marine or industrial environments.
4.5 metres of RG58 low loss stranded cable bottom exits through the mount base. Cut the cable to the shortest length necessary prior to fitting the UHF male solder connector provided. The maximum input power rating is 50 watts.
"1269-5" is another mounting option available. This consists of a stainless steel barrel spring with drilled bolt and spring washer. The spring dampens vehicle vibrations while travelling and is recommended for those who encounter rough conditions frequently. The cable is fed through the hollow spring, washer, mounting bolt and bracket.Then screw the spring into the threaded base of the antenna and secure into any bracket with 12.7 mm (½”) minimum diameter hole.
