Compatibility and performance

Connects directly to handheld radios with a compatible BNC antenna connection. SMA-equipped radios require the correct BNC adapter, sold separately unless included in your selected package.

The listed frequency region does not imply uniform performance across every channel. The SWR specification applies at the designated center frequency; actual SWR varies with frequency, radio, adapter, and surroundings. Contact Pollux Field Systems with your channel list if you need suitability confirmed before ordering.
