UHF Directional Yagi Antenna, 6 Element, 480–520MHz
The RFI YB6-62 is a directional Yagi antenna for fixed-site UHF communications, built for repeater links, telemetry, and SCADA networks.
Overview
The RFI YB6-62 is a 6-element UHF Yagi antenna covering 480–520MHz, engineered for fixed-site installations that need strong directional gain rather than omni-directional coverage. It's built for repeater systems, point-to-point radio links, SCADA, telemetry, and other fixed communications infrastructure.
Its welded aluminium construction with an alodined finish keeps it corrosion-resistant on exposed towers and masts, and the full-band design means no on-site tuning is required. If you need more gain than this 6-element model provides, the RFI YB9-62 (9-element, same band) is the step-up option in this range.
Key Features
- 6-element directional Yagi design, approximately 11dBi gain means concentrated RF energy in one direction for longer, more reliable point-to-point and repeater links, for network designers linking remote sites.
- Full 480–520MHz coverage with no tuning required means a straightforward install with one less variable to get wrong on site, for technicians commissioning fixed UHF links.
- 18dB typical front-to-back ratio means better rejection of unwanted interference from behind the antenna, for sites sharing spectrum with other UHF users.
- Welded aluminium construction with an alodined finish means it stands up to years on an exposed tower or mast in New Zealand conditions, for operators who need infrastructure that lasts.
- Rated to 100W input power means it handles serious repeater and base station transmit power without drama, for high-power fixed-site systems.
- N female connector with cable tail means a low-loss, high-power connection suited to permanent fixed-site installs, for network techs wiring up repeater sites.
Applications
- Repeater stations and point-to-point radio links
- SCADA and telemetry networks
- Utility and transport communications
- Mining and industrial radio systems
- Local government and public safety communication networks
- Remote monitoring infrastructure
What's in the Box
- 1 x RFI YB6-62 6-element UHF Yagi antenna, N female connector with short 9008 cable tail
- Mast/boom clamp sold separately, see Complete Your Setup below
Complete Your Setup
The YB6-62 mounts via a 100mm x 25mm diameter alodined aluminium boom. The RFI UCR1 Antenna Clamp (20–52mm) is a likely fit for this mounting diameter, though we'd recommend confirming against RFI's mounting guide for your exact mast size before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What frequency range does the YB6-62 cover?
The antenna is designed to operate across the 480–520MHz UHF frequency range.
What is a Yagi antenna?
A Yagi antenna is a directional antenna that focuses radio energy in one direction, providing greater communication distance and improved signal performance compared with omnidirectional antennas.
What applications is the YB6-62 suitable for?
The antenna is ideal for repeater systems, point-to-point radio links, telemetry, SCADA, utility networks, mining operations, transport infrastructure, and fixed-site communications.
Is the antenna suitable for outdoor installations?
Yes. The welded aluminium construction with an alodined finish is designed for permanent outdoor use and provides excellent resistance to corrosion and harsh weather conditions.
Can this antenna be used with digital radio systems?
Yes. The YB6-62 is compatible with both analogue and digital UHF radio systems operating within the supported frequency range.
Can Mobile Systems Limited install this antenna?
Yes. We supply, install, align, test, and commission professional fixed-site antenna systems and complete radio communication networks throughout New Zealand.
