148-174 MHz : Helically Wound Whip with 5/16"-26 TPI Thread
M99RT148 is a helically wound whip for the frequency range 148 to 174 MHz. This helical design is most useful in circumstances where reduced height is essential.
The rugged copper plated steel construction will withstand rough treatment.
The mount ferrule has a 5/16”-26 TPI Female thread.
Since this stubby antenna will be used on radios, bases and ground planes unknown to us, it is supplied uncut. Clients will therefore require the services of a technician with suitable SWR equipment to ascertain the correct trim length according to the frequency required.
