Know before you buy
In normal conditions, you can typically expect an additional 2 to 4 miles of range. Under ideal, clear-line-of-sight scenarios, users have reported reaching up to 8 miles.
Yes, the magnetic base is designed for secure vehicle mounting. It provides a firm hold that remains stable even when navigating uneven hunting trails or bumpy backroads.
The antenna is designed to integrate directly with your existing Garmin Astro or Alpha tracking systems. It includes a 20-foot coaxial cable, providing plenty of length to route the connection from your roof to your handheld device inside the vehicle.
The spring whip adds a layer of durability by allowing the antenna to flex if it strikes low-hanging branches or other obstacles. This prevents the antenna from snapping or bending permanently during off-road use.
The magnetic base requires a flat, metal surface to maintain a secure connection. For the best signal performance, we recommend mounting it on the highest point of your vehicle, such as the roof, to ensure an unobstructed path for the signal.
