5/8 Aerials
These compact aerials are ideal for handheld radios and space-constrained setups. Built with a high-tensile helical coil and protected by a flexible silicone rubber casing, they offer reliable performance and durability across VHF and UHF frequencies.
The range of 5/8w aerials offers a rugged and reliable design. VHF models are constructed from solid 6.5mm pultruded fibreglass rod and covered with heat shrink. All fittings are nickel plated.
The 5/8w aerials provide a nominal gain of 3dB with a low angle of radiation.
These 5/8w aerials can be mounted in two ways, either straight onto the aerial bases or with a tilt assembly that goes onto the aerial base and allows the aerial to fold down when not in use.
