Antennas

We offer an assortment of directional and omnidirectional antennas. While there are many factors to consider in making an antenna decision there are 3 inescapable truths: 

  1. Height is everything.      
  2. The radio will only perform as well as the antenna and cable connected to it.      
  3. Height is everything.
We spread spectrum radios using only a 3" long unity gain whip antenna have a line-of-sight range of about 20 miles. Using external antennas will improve their performance considerably. In general, Yagi antennas should be used for longer point-to-point links and omnis for shorter links or for repeater sites. However these are simply guidelines. With proper placement the type of antenna becomes secondary. As an example we know of installations where Yagis are used for repeaters, with a 10 mile link coming into the back or side of the antenna.
 
We offer the following antennas. Note: the omni-directional antennas may be used with either brackets or magnetic mounts.

We also can provide omnidirectional antennas with a horizontal polarization. Horizontal polarization may be very useful when one of the radios in a link is co-located near a page or cell phone tower, by effectively lowering the overall noise floor by up to 20 dB. When using Yagi antennas, this is accomplished by turning both antennas in the link so their elements are horizontal. Out-of-band noise may also be reduced with the use of our band pass filters.
 
NOTE: use of proper cable assembly is very important!
