TRABT1560 – Laird Phantom Low Profile 156-172MHz VHF Unity Gain Tunable Antenna (Black/NMO Mount) with Patented Field Diversity

The original patented Phantom Field Diversity low profile antenna sets industry standard that can not be duplicated.

The Laird Original Phantom low profile antenna requires a Standard NMO Mount (Common NMO Mounts,all NMO Mounts). Most NMO mounts are installed by drilling a hole in the roof of your vehicle (roof must be metal). The cable is then routed under the headliner to the radio’s location. This provides for an excellent ground plane and very solid permanent installation. Trunk lip mounts are also available.

Note: This antenna features a tunable frequency range of 156-172MHz with a 1MHz bandwidth. What this means is that the antenna can be tuned to any 1MHz band within the range of 156-172MHz.
