Each antenna is precisely tested/tuned in THE USA.
Vehicle application: Mount on vehicle at a sensible location appropriately.
A variety of 3/8”-24 thread sturdy mount types are available on the market.
SWR frequency range varies with vehicle construct, and where on the vehicle the antenna is mounted.
Keep antenna substantially above nearby metal, limit horizontally adjacent near field parasitic interaction.
Base Station application: Mount antenna on a sufficient appropriate ground plane counterpoise.
A general rule is that expansive [8’(+)] metal in at least one horizontal/angled somewhat downward direction may yield a reasonable SWR. [Mounting to a vertical mast typically does not.] Keep at least 10’ from RF-interacting materials. Height above ground affects signal pattern, and SWR.
Outside installation is recommended to decrease noise from indoor switching power supplies and other electrical devices.
Possible installations include magnet/clamp/bracket mounting on house/shed/building metal roofs (upper area), well supported metal gutter/trim, a metal railing.
If creating a hole/holes is/are being considered, temporarily securing the mount (for vehicle application, not moving), or trying a magnet mount (on steel, magnetically secured; on aluminum, supported – capacitive coupling exists with both) or a clamp mount at/near the intended location, may help to give an idea of SWR before the hole(s) is/are made.
Always check SWR; operate only per transmitter specifications.
~65” tall – Tuning can be done by adjusting whip position in Ferrule, or trimming whip.
The frequency shifts ~0.1 MHz with ½” change in length; increase in length lowers freq.; decrease in length raises freq.
(V)SWR: Nominal < 2:1 [Often 1.1-1.5:1]
Gain: Nominal 7(+) dB-MEG – Mean Effective Gain in the dynamic obstructed environments
