Rugged Radios GMRS UHF NGP Whip Antenna Kit

A damaged GMRS antenna can leave you replacing a whip in the field, where a metal ground plane may not be available. Universal fit - not built for one specific make or model, so confirm mounting space and wiring on your machine before ordering. The Rugged Radios magnetic mount antenna kit uses a no-ground-plane base and a threaded NMO UHF whip to replace an antenna in the field.

FAQ

Which connector type is specified?

The listed connector type is none. Confirm your radio connection requirements before ordering.

How should I tighten the NMO nut?

Hold the wrench vertically to reduce torque. Overtightening can damage the center conductor inside the NMO antenna stud.

How long is the UHF whip?

The whip is 12.5 inches long.

Does the antenna perform better with a ground plane?

A ground plane is better, although the NGP antenna does not have to be attached to a metal surface.

Why choose an NGP antenna for field replacement?

An NGP antenna is a useful choice when a metal roof or larger body panel is not available as a ground plane.
