Description
Compatible with most brands of VHF or UHF radio such as Icom, Vertex, Rugged, PCI and Kenwood. 3db Racing antenna recommended when it can be mounted in the center of a flat metal roof, with no objects 18" in any direction (a 36" diameter circle). If you have a roof rack, light bar or need to mount somewhere other than the center of a metal roof, then you would purchase a NGP No Ground Plane / GPI Ground Plane Independent antenna.
You'll want to mount the antenna in the center of the roof so that the antenna projects a full 360 degrees around. If you mount the antenna toward the rear of the roof it will only reflect toward the front of the vehicle, resulting in reduced reception.
The antenna is 43 inches long not including the base. If you frequently use only one channel, for best reception cut the antenna to length based off of the frequency you are using most often.
