VHF Air Band Broadband Antenna, 118–136MHz, 3dB Gain
The RFI CD29-118136-50 is a professional-grade mobile antenna designed specifically for 118–136MHz VHF Air Band communications, engineered for aviation ground support, airport operations, emergency services, and specialist vehicle applications. MBC base included, cable and connector sold separately.
Overview
The CD29-118136-50 is a broadband Air Band Mopole antenna covering the full 118–136MHz civil aviation frequency range with 3dB gain and no field tuning required. It's built for airport ground operations, aviation support fleets, and emergency services vehicles that need dependable air band coverage.
It's supplied with an MBC mounting base but without coaxial cable, letting installers pick the exact cable length and connector for each installation rather than being locked into a fixed length.
Key Features
- Full 118–136MHz VHF Air Band coverage means one antenna handles the entire civil aviation range with no field tuning, for installers working across multiple aviation-support vehicles.
- 3dB gain means stronger signal and better range than a standard unity-gain whip, while keeping omnidirectional coverage.
- Heavy-duty MBC mounting base included means a straightforward, widely supported mount standard.
- Supplied without coaxial cable means you choose the exact cable length and connector for your install, reducing cable losses and cost for unusual vehicle layouts.
- Rugged, weather and corrosion resistant construction means dependable performance in demanding airport and aviation environments.
Applications
- Airport ground operations and airfield maintenance vehicles
- Rescue and fire services
- Aviation support and aircraft servicing vehicles
- Air traffic support and aviation security operations
- Emergency management and specialist communication vehicles
