Utilizing technology designed for military and commercial applications, Digital Antenna delivers the highly advanced 8' Wide Band VHF Antenna to the marine industry. The 992-M antenna provides tactical maritime users with a high performance solution for broadband VHF communications.
Featuring a tremendous bandwidth of 134 to 176 MHz, 6dB gain and the ability to withstand continuous RF power up to 150 watts, the 992-M antenna facilitates high quality communications across a normally hard to cover band. An exclusive electrical design with internal ground plane allows the antenna to maintain a low radiation pattern, resulting in exceptional communication capability over a wide bandwidth.
Designed to meet the military’s rigorous MIL-STD-810 environmental engineering testing, as well as typical marine standards for high seas applications, the 992-M antenna is built to endure environmentally harsh conditions. It is designed for use with a multitude of services including auxiliary civil services, 2-meter amateur radio band, VHF business band, multi-use radio service (MURS), 2-way land mobile, VHF marine radio, narrow band FM, VHF SATCOM, Automatic Identification System (AIS) and NOAA weather stations.
Digital Antenna’s quality components include a 316 grade stainless steel ferrule, soldered brass radiating elements, power directing ferrite choke bead and high-gloss UV stable coating. It is manufactured in the USA.
