A1843 Series (3 dB UHF)

3 dB UHF NMO Whip Antenna


The A1843 Series is a 3 dB UHF NMO mobile antenna with five tuned 406–512 MHz ranges and a 21-inch 5/8-wave whip.

  • Provides 3 dB gain from a 21-inch 5/8-wave radiator.
  • Matches one of five documented UHF ordering ranges.
  • Keeps moisture away from the loading section with O-ring and overlap seals.
  • Offers brite or black finishes with an optional spring-base path.

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

Product Description

The A1843 Series occupies the middle of the A1842/A1843/A1845 UHF gain and height range. Its 21-inch 5/8-wave whip provides 3 dB gain, offering more gain than the compact A1842 without the 39-inch height of the A1845.

Five tuned configurations divide 406–512 MHz into 20 MHz ordering ranges. O-ring seals and overlap construction protect the loading section, while brite and black finishes support common vehicle installations.

Ideal applications: vehicle-mounted UHF LMR systems balancing 3 dB gain with moderate whip height.

Example Model Configurations: A1843A-06, A1843A-30, A1843A-50, A1843A-70, A1843A-90, A1843A/SP, A1843B-06, A1843B-30, A1843B-50, A1843B-70, A1843B-90
