The antenna is chosen by TRC for reliable performance with its legacy handhelds and receiver cards.

  • Length: 8 inches (fixed whip) — compact profile for handheld and stationary use.

Choosing the right antenna and placement is critical to RF performance. For best results, mount the antenna vertically, keep the coaxial cable runs short and use quality BNC connectors.
