Classic styling and an upgraded fiberglass radome bring durability, stiffness and reliability to your radio needs. Brass and copper 5/8-wave elements boost range and efficiency, stainless steel ferrule and 20′ RG-8X low-loss cable boost your signal strength.

  • Mirror-finished stainless steel ferrule with 1″-14 threads is polished to a high luster
  • Quality brass choking sleeves insulate the copper inner conductor and suppress cable radiation
