Know before you buy
The 3dB gain provides a more focused signal pattern, which helps maintain clearer communication in obstructed environments like dense forests or mountainous terrain. It is designed to extend your GMRS range beyond what a shorter, lower-gain antenna can offer.
Yes, this antenna is designed to be installed through a 0.5-inch hole. You will need a compatible mounting bracket or a pre-drilled location on your vehicle's bullbar or body panel to secure it properly.
The spring base allows the antenna to flex when it encounters low-hanging branches or trail debris. This flexibility prevents the fiberglass rod from snapping or damaging your vehicle's mounting point during rugged off-road driving.
For most standard trucks, SUVs, and off-road vehicles, 19.5 feet is more than enough to route the cable from the front bullbar to the radio unit inside the cabin. We recommend routing the cable away from ignition components to minimize potential signal interference.
No, this antenna is specifically tuned for the GMRS frequency range of 462-468 MHz. Using it outside of this range will result in poor performance and may cause damage to your radio's transmitter.
