RFI FW14-HD Heavy Duty UHF Antenna, 4.5dBi, 450-470MHz
A tough, pre-tuned fibreglass UHF whip: no cutting, no tuning. Whip only; fits the RFI MB10 or MB12 roof base.
Overview
Want more reach than a quarter wave without tuning on install? The FW14-HD is a centre-loaded collinear in a heavy duty fibreglass rod, supplied pre-tuned for 450-470MHz.
It suits mixed terrain and work vehicles that take a beating. It needs a metal roof underneath, and note the 25W power limit: it's not for high-power UHF mobiles.
Key Features
- 4.5dBi peak gain (centre-loaded collinear) means a useful step up in reach from a quarter wave.
- Pre-tuned for 450-470MHz means it's ready to fit, ideal if you're installing it yourself.
- Heavy duty fibreglass rod with UV-stable heatshrink means it stands up to rough work.
- 5/16" 26 TPI thread means it fits RFI MB10 and MB12 bases.
Install Notes
- Needs a metal roof (ground plane). For canopies, fibreglass roofs or bull bars, choose a ground-independent antenna such as the RFI CD93 instead.
- Maximum power 25W. For higher-power radios, choose a Phasemaster (CSW24) instead.
- Mounts on an RFI MB10 or MB12 roof base.

FAQs
Do I need to tune it?
No, it's supplied pre-tuned for 450-470MHz.
Will it work on a ute canopy?
Not on its own. It needs a metal roof underneath. For non-metal mounts, a ground-independent antenna such as the RFI CD93 is the right choice.
Can you install it for me?
Yes. Our Bay of Plenty technicians can fit it. Outside the region, we work with partner installers.
