D8072 Dipole Antenna
The D8072 Dipole Antenna for extreme weather has been engineered to maintain reliable connectivity under the most demanding weather conditions. Operating across the 108–174 MHz VHF frequency band, it delivers consistent omni-directional coverage via two vertically stacked dipole elements housed in a single enclosure.
Description
The D8072 Dipole Antenna for extreme weather has been engineered to maintain reliable connectivity under the most demanding weather conditions. Operating across the 108–174 MHz VHF frequency band, it delivers consistent omni-directional coverage via two vertically stacked dipole elements housed in a single, rugged enclosure and configured for the same frequency band. Designed to endure high wind speeds and freezing climates, it features an ice-resistant coating that helps minimize ice buildup and preserve signal quality.
