A1813 Series (3 dB VHF)

3 dB VHF NMO Whip Antenna


The A1813 Series is a 3 dB base-loaded VHF NMO antenna with tuned 132–174 MHz or 144–174 MHz configurations and optional shock spring.

  • Targets VHF service through two documented A1813 tuning ranges.
  • Provides 3 dB gain with 7 MHz operating bandwidth.
  • Adds a shock spring through source-supported S configurations.
  • Separates 200–280 MHz requirements into the related A1823 Series.

Customization: Cable type, cable length, and connectors can be configured for specific installation requirements.

Product Description

The A1813 Series is the VHF member of a combined A1813/A1823 source family. Its approved configurations cover 132–174 MHz or 144–174 MHz with 3 dB gain; systems operating from 200 to 280 MHz should use the related A1823 Series rather than an expanded A1813 claim.

A base-loaded 5/8-wave whip provides the specified gain in brite or black finishes. Standard and shock-spring versions are documented for both A1813 tuning ranges, with the -32 whip extending up to 55 inches.

Ideal applications: vehicle-mounted VHF LMR systems that require a tuned gain whip and optional spring support.

Example Model Configurations: A1813A-32, A1813A-44, A1813B-32, A1813B-44
