Albrecht and Midland Car and Truck Mobile UHF Antenna

Albrecht and Midland UHF vehicle antenna for the 430-450 MHz frequency range

The documented frequency range of the UHF vehicle antenna is 430-450 MHz. The antennas in this category can therefore be selected for the same frequency range, while the connection to the radio differs. When choosing the appropriate version, the SMA or BNC connector should be checked together with the 430-450 MHz operating range.

What are the technical characteristics of the UHF mobile antenna?

The UHF mobile antenna versions in this category have an 18.5 cm whip. Both versions use a 2.7 m RG-174 cable and magnetic-mount installation. The frequency range, whip length, cable type, cable length and mounting method are identical; the documented difference is the connector type.

Magnetic-mount antenna with an 18.5 cm radiator

The antenna is installed using a magnetic mount. The 18.5 cm whip and magnetic-mount design are common characteristics of both versions in the category. The available technical data do not specify another mounting method, magnetic base diameter or additional installation dimensions, so these parameters are not included in the category description.

How does the mobile radio antenna connect to the radio?

The connection between the radio and the antenna is provided by a 2.7 m RG-174 cable. Depending on the selected version, the cable is terminated with an SMA or BNC connector. The cable type and length are identical in both cases, so the choice between the two versions is determined by the connector required by the radio.

SMA and BNC antenna connections

The category includes two connector versions: SMA and BNC. The other documented main technical parameters are identical. Both antennas operate in the 430-450 MHz frequency range and use an 18.5 cm whip, 2.7 m RG-174 cable and magnetic mount. We recommend checking the antenna connector on the radio before ordering.

Which antenna connector is required?

The SMA version is intended for an SMA connection, while the BNC version is intended for a BNC connection. The available technical information does not specify an adapter or another connection option. For direct connection, the radio connector type should therefore be matched to the SMA or BNC termination of the antenna.

Vehicle radio antenna with RG-174 cabling

Both vehicle radio antenna versions use a 2.7 m RG-174 cable. Cable type and length therefore do not differentiate the two designs. No alternative cable length or coaxial cable type is documented for this category. From a technical perspective, selection is based on the specified frequency range and connector type.

Main technical data of the UHF vehicle antenna

• Frequency range: 430-450 MHz.
• Whip length: 18.5 cm.
• Cable: 2.7 m RG-174.
• Mounting: magnetic mount.
• Connector: SMA or BNC.

The available product data do not specify gain, SWR, maximum transmit power, impedance or polarization values, so these parameters are not included in the category description.
