RFI TLA160-N VHF Low Profile Transit Antenna, 148–174MHz, N Female
The RFI TLA160-N VHF Low Profile Transit Antenna is a heavy-duty, low-profile antenna engineered for demanding transport and fleet communication applications. Covering the 148–174MHz VHF frequency band, it delivers reliable performance for licensed two-way radio systems while maintaining a discreet, streamlined appearance. Antenna only, cable sold separately.
Overview
Designed specifically for commercial vehicles, buses, trains, emergency service fleets, and specialist transport applications, the TLA160-N features a robust low-profile housing that minimises the risk of damage from low-clearance environments, automatic vehicle wash systems, and everyday impacts.
Its alodined aluminium construction is field-tuneable to minimum VSWR, and the low-profile design trades a small amount of gain for a genuinely discreet, damage-resistant footprint, ideal for vehicles that need to keep a clean profile.
Key Features
- Covers the full 148–174MHz VHF band means one antenna handles a wide span of licensed VHF channels.
- Low-profile transit antenna design means reduced risk of damage from low-clearance structures, vehicle washes, and everyday knocks.
- Heavy-duty alodined aluminium construction means dependable performance in harsh outdoor conditions.
- N Female connector means a secure, low-loss, professional-grade RF connection for commercial installations.
- Omnidirectional radiation pattern means consistent coverage while the vehicle is moving, in any direction of travel.
- Field-tuneable to minimum VSWR means you can dial in the best performance for your exact operating frequency within the band.

- Public transport buses and rail vehicles
- Emergency service and utility fleets
- Commercial transport and mining vehicles
