Rugged Radios GMRS UHF Magnetic Mount Antenna Kit

Replacing an antenna in the field calls for a mount, an antenna and enough coax to connect it to the radio. 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 an NMO mount and a pre-tuned UHF antenna, with 13 feet of coax for the radio connection.

Key Features

• Pre-tuned UHF antenna operates from 406 to 470 MHz
• Magnetic NGP antenna mount with threaded NMO base
• 14.5-inch antenna height
• 13 feet of coax cable
• High-heat ABS mounting base with silver-soldered connections
• Gold-plated push pin contacts and O-ring

Built To Solve: GMRS Field Antenna Replacement

• Replace a field antenna with a magnetic NMO mount and pre-tuned UHF antenna.
• Run the 13-foot coax cable from the mount toward the radio.

FAQ

Does the magnetic mount require a ground plane?

The mount is described as NGP, or no ground plane. Rugged Radios still recommends a ground-plane surface such as a metal roof for optimal performance.

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 can I decide if this antenna suits my radio?

Check the radio's operating frequency against the antenna's stated 406–470 MHz range, which covers GMRS.

How long is the antenna?

The antenna measures 14.5 inches in total.

Does mounting surface affect antenna performance?

Rugged Radios recommends a ground-plane surface such as a metal roof for optimal signal performance.
