Tait TP8/TP9 Cut-to-Length Tunable Helical VHF Antenna, 136-225MHz

Precision-tuned VHF antenna for Tait TP8 and TP9 radios.

Overview

The Tait TP8/TP9 Cut-to-Length Tunable Helical VHF Antenna is designed for users who demand tailored performance from their communication gear. Covering the wide VHF range of 136-225MHz, this antenna is ideal for forestry, civil defence, utilities, and other field-intensive industries.

Unlike fixed-frequency antennas, this model allows users to trim the antenna to a specific length, matching the desired operating frequency for optimal signal transmission and reception. Its helical coil design offers excellent durability while maintaining a low profile, perfect for active work environments.

Whether you're working with legacy analogue systems or modern digital platforms, this antenna ensures that your Tait handheld maintains peak performance.

Key Features

  • Customisable tuning means it can be cut to a precise length for your operational frequency (136-225MHz).
  • Compact helical design means rugged, flexible antenna construction ideal for field use.
  • Optimised for Tait radios means it's fully compatible with Tait TP8 and TP9 series handheld radios.
  • Superior RF performance means consistent transmission and reception quality across the VHF band.
  • Easy installation means a simple cut-and-fit process with clear calibration markings.

Excellent to deal with

Excellent to deal with. Being able to get my battery from a new zealand company who actually had stock made the process so much easier!
Many thanks for the fast service.

Easy to use radio earset

They do what they say they do, easy to use and no extra gear. The main set is the master and needs to be used, just turn them on with charged batteries and they just work. We have tested them to about 400m but really only need them for up to about 100m max and they work really well, easy to hear everyone using them. Once they are on you just talk and listen, there are no buttons to push
We use the single ear so we can hear people not using the sets.
