RFI CD93-72-70 Elevated Feed Mopole UHF Antenna, 490-520MHz
6.5dB gain with a ground-independent elevated choke. Antenna only, cable and connector sold separately.
Overview
The CD93-72-70 is a robust, elevated-feed UHF Mopole antenna designed for clear and reliable communications in the 490-520MHz frequency range. Featuring 6.5dB gain and a stainless steel whip, this antenna is built for performance in demanding mobile and fixed-site environments.
Its ground-independent choke design allows for flexible mounting on vehicles or structures where a standard ground plane is not available.
Need a different UHF sub-band? This antenna is also part of a wider CD93 series, see "Other Bands in This Series" below.
Key Features
- 6.5dB gain means stronger signal coverage over a standard unity-gain whip, for fleet operators who want more reach without stepping up to a full base-station antenna.
- Elevated feed design means it operates independently of the ground plane, for vehicles being mounted on gutters, roof bars, or other non-ideal ground-plane positions.
- Stainless steel whip means durability in outdoor conditions, for vehicles that live outside year-round.
- Compatible with a variety of mounting positions means installers aren't locked into a single roof-centre mount, for fleets with vehicles that have obstructions like lightbars or roof racks.
Applications
- Mobile radios in commercial vehicles and emergency fleets
- Fixed radio installations in transport, utilities, and industrial sites
- Harsh outdoor environments where performance and resilience matter

Other Bands in This Series
The CD93 series covers several UHF sub-bands at the same 6.5dB gain. If 490-520MHz isn't your operating frequency, see CD93-65-70 (400-420MHz) or CD93-71-70 (470-490MHz). These are different frequency bands, not direct substitutes, so pick the one that matches your licensed frequency.

FAQs
Does this need a large ground plane to work?
No, the elevated feed design is ground-independent, so it performs reliably even on surfaces with a limited ground plane.
Does the antenna include a cable and connector?
No. This is an antenna-only listing, cable and connector are sold separately. Get in touch and we'll help you put together the right setup.
What does 6.5dB gain actually mean in practice?
RFI rates the CD93 series at 6.5dB improvement over a 1/4 wave whip. Real-world pattern testing typically shows 1.5-2dB of actual gain, still a meaningful improvement, particularly in built-up areas and rugged terrain.
Where can this antenna be mounted?
Its ground-independent design suits a variety of mounting positions, including gutter mounts and roof bars, not just a traditional roof-centre mount.
Can Mobile Systems Limited install this antenna?
Yes. We supply, install, test, and support RFI antennas and complete two-way radio systems throughout New Zealand.
