Albrecht and Midland Car and Truck Mobile VHF Antenna

VHF vehicle antenna for Albrecht and Midland radio systems

The Midland VH 1 VHF mobile antenna available in this category has the product number ALA-527-999. Its operating frequency range is 140-175 MHz and its design is 1/4 Lambda. The specified maximum power is 100 W, the S.W.R. value is 1:1.2 and the gain is 1.2 dB. When selecting a radio and antenna combination, we therefore recommend checking the required operating frequency range and the technical parameters of the radio first.

Midland VHF antenna: main technical specifications of the VH 1

• Frequency range: 140-175 MHz
• Design: 1/4 Lambda
• Maximum power: 100 W
• S.W.R.: 1:1.2

The listed specifications allow the parameters of the Midland VH 1 to be compared directly with the requirements of the radio system in which it will be installed.

What technical specifications characterize the Midland VH 1 VHF mobile antenna?

The mobile radio antenna uses a stainless steel antenna whip. Cabling is provided by a 4 m RG-58 cable. The antenna is supplied with a DV mount specified for a 12 mm diameter mounting hole. When planning the physical installation, the 51 cm antenna length, 300 g weight, required mounting hole diameter and cable length should therefore all be taken into account.

Vehicle radio antenna with DV mount and RG-58 cable

The structural specifications of the Midland VH 1 are clearly defined: DV mount, 12 mm mounting hole, 4 m RG-58 cable and stainless steel whip. These parameters are particularly relevant when planning the installation position because the mounting point and cable routing need to be determined before installation.

Midland VH 1 antenna construction and connection

When installing a VHF antenna in a vehicle, both the physical mounting arrangement and cable routing are important considerations. We also provide antenna installation for vehicles and special-purpose vehicles at our installation workshop in Budapest. The service is available for passenger cars as well as buses, trucks, fire engines, ambulances, covered vehicles and taxis.

How can the VHF mobile antenna be installed in a vehicle?

Securing the antenna and routing the cables inside the vehicle require precise installation work. For the Midland VH 1, the DV mount and 12 mm mounting hole diameter are the relevant physical installation parameters, while the 4 m RG-58 cable provides a defined value for planning the cable route.

What should be considered when installing a VHF vehicle antenna?

When selecting the antenna, we recommend checking the 140-175 MHz frequency range, the 100 W maximum power rating and the physical installation requirements separately. The Midland VH 1 has a 51 cm antenna whip, so this dimension should also be considered when selecting the mounting position on the vehicle. The mechanical installation requirements are defined by the DV mount and the 12 mm mounting hole diameter.
