Albrecht and Midland Handheld VHF/UHF Antenna

Albrecht and Midland multiband handheld radio antenna with 25-1300 MHz frequency range

The multiband handheld radio antenna in this category covers a frequency range of 25-1300 MHz. The design is telescopic, the connector type is BNC, and the overall length is 66 cm. These technical data together define the basic electrical and mechanical characteristics of the antenna. On the 2 m and 70 cm amateur radio bands, the antenna can also be used for transmission.

What frequency range does the multiband handheld radio antenna cover?

The specified frequency range extends from 25 MHz to 1300 MHz. This is one of the key selection parameters of the antenna in this category. For transmitting use, it is important to note separately that transmission is specified for the 2 m and 70 cm amateur radio bands. The full 25-1300 MHz range should therefore not automatically be interpreted as a transmitting frequency range.

BNC antenna connection for handheld radios and scanners

The antenna uses a BNC connector. The connector type is one of the directly verifiable compatibility requirements, so the antenna connection of the radio or scanner should also be checked before selection. We recommend checking not only the frequency range but also whether the device connection matches the BNC configuration.

How can the antenna be used on the 2 m and 70 cm amateur radio bands?

The antenna can be used for transmission on the 2 m and 70 cm amateur radio bands. This capability is specified separately from the 25-1300 MHz frequency range, so these two amateur bands should be used as the reference for transmitting operation. No transmitting use is specified for other frequency ranges, so such operation should not be inferred from the overall frequency coverage.

Telescopic portable radio antenna with 66 cm length

The portable radio antenna has a telescopic construction and an overall length of 66 cm. Physical length is one of the defined technical characteristics of the category, together with frequency range and BNC connection. No additional dimensional data, such as collapsed length or frequency values for individual extension positions, are specified.

Which data should be checked before selecting an antenna?

Three clearly defined technical parameters should be checked together: the 25-1300 MHz frequency range, the BNC connector and the 66 cm antenna length. If the antenna is also intended for transmission, the additional requirement is operation on the 2 m or 70 cm amateur radio band. We recommend comparing these parameters with the characteristics of the radio or scanner being used.

Handheld transceiver antenna and scanner antenna usage differences

The category data distinguish between the wide frequency range and the specifically defined transmitting application. The antenna covers 25-1300 MHz, while transmitting use is specified for the 2 m and 70 cm amateur radio bands. These two values do not have the same meaning. For transmitting operation, the explicitly specified amateur radio bands should therefore always be taken into account.

Why is it important to check the BNC connector?

The antenna uses a BNC connector. It can therefore be connected directly with the specified connection type to devices that support a compatible BNC interface. No information is provided for other connector types or adapters, so compatibility with other connection systems cannot be determined from the available data.

Albrecht antenna technical characteristics at a glance

• Frequency range: 25-1300 MHz.
• Can be used as a transmitting antenna on the 2 m and 70 cm amateur radio bands.
• Connector: BNC.
• Length: 66 cm.
• Design: telescopic scanner antenna.

The current technical information for the category is based on these five characteristics. No data are specified for gain, impedance, maximum transmit power, SWR or polarization, so these parameters are not included in the category description.
