This Mini Magnetic Antenna Base uses the AUSCB Long Range Antenna to improve performance of a handheld by allowing the antenna to be higher and clear compared to transmitting inside the vehicle.
Shows a gain of 3dBi, and is a better performer than other plug and play mini mag antennas offered, which are only 1/4 waves at UHF (the AUSCB Long Range Antenna is 5/8 wave).
Compact and discreet size at only 52mm across the base, yet when placed on a flat metal surface will not come off a highway speeds. Overall height when used with the antenna is 370mm.
Comes with 4m of RG174 50 ohm coax, terminated with a SMA fitting to suit the AUSCB antenna socket.
Can be used with an in-car Mobile CB when used with the correct SMA to PL259 adapter (not supplied) as a typically 'plug and play' system. 4m of coax (instead of the typical 2.5m on many 'plug and plays') allows more flexibility as to where you can place the radio.
Note that the SMA fitting does not need to be done up tight to the AUSCB antenna socket, just a gentle stop is all that is required.
