Simple kit combines what you need for antenna replacement in the field. Includes NGP (No Ground Plane) VHF 1/2 Wave antenna and 3/8" NMO style cable mount with 15 feet of cable.

"No Ground Plane" means the antenna does not have to be attached to a metal surface (such as a vehicle roof or larger body panel). Although using a ground plane is always better, this NGP antenna performs great for all uses, drivers, teams, and applications.

Molded high heat ABS mounting base features silver soldered connections, gold plated push pin contacts and O-ring. The VHF antenna is already pre-tuned (cut) for VHF application. Simply order, mount, and ride!

Features:

  • VHF Range: 144-174
  • Connector Type: None
  • Color: Chrome Model(s)
  • Gain: 2.4 dB
  • VHF Bandwidth: 4 MHz
  • Power (watts): 200
  • Whip Material: 17-7PH Stainless Steel
  • Whip Length @ 154 mHz - 39.8"
  • Base Style: Magnetic Mount
  • Mount Style: None
  • Connector Type: None

NOTE: The center conductor inside the NMO antenna stud is not solid metal and can be damaged if overtightened. As shown in the photo above, when installing the NMO nut, we recommend holding the wrench vertically to reduce torque and overtightening.

VHF Antenna Kit with 1/2 Wave No Ground Plane (NGP) Antenna & NMO Mount
A good antenna but the whip was a little short to tune efficiently across the 2m ham band. They sell replacement whips which are longer and tune well for the 2m ham band, but the diameter is smaller. This causes the whip to bend more at highway speed and can causes a little crackling noise. The best I could tune with the original whip @ 151mhz resonant with 1.17:1 SWR and at the bottom of the 2m band @ 1.58:1 (still very respectable). With the replacement whip, cut to resonant @ 146mhz had an SWR at 1.07:1 and no worse the 1.17:1 at either end of the 2m band. The mount, base, coax, or connector have been trouble-free. I recommend especially if you need a mono-band antenna without a good metal ground or a vehicle with poor bonding. I use this with their magmount on an aluminum chassis F150 with a small metal shelf installed above the third breaklight.

Antenna seems decent but base portion of cord (where the antenna screws on) broke in half tightening it by hand

VHF Antenna Kit with 1/2 Wave No Ground Plane (NGP) Antenna & NMO Mount
Well made antenna, but ships with a 35.8” whip. I had to purchase a replacement 42” whip so I can tune it for 2 meter. I hope the replacement whip gets the SWR to a useable level. It would have a been a 5 star review, but I should not have had to purchase a replacement whip so it can work within its advertised frequency range.
