Product Description

No-Tune Wideband VHF Coverage for Critical Fixed Networks.

The OD3-150WB covers a broad VHF range from one fixed antenna, eliminating the need to field-tune the antenna to a narrow operating channel. Its frequency range fits public-safety, utility, telemetry, and remote-control systems that use frequencies across the VHF band.

Broad VHF Operating Range: The antenna covers 136–174 MHz at less than 1.5:1 VSWR and extends across 130–180 MHz at less than 2:1 VSWR.

High Power Handling: The antenna is rated for up to 500 W, accommodating higher-power fixed VHF radio systems.

No Field Tuning Required: The wideband design covers the published range without cutting or retuning the antenna during installation.

High-Wind Construction: The 56-inch gray fiberglass antenna includes pole-mount hardware and carries a published 200 mph wind rating.

The OD3-150WB provides no-tune VHF coverage and high power handling for public-safety, utility, and industrial base stations.

Ideal Applications

  • Public-safety VHF systems
  • Utility communications
  • Industrial telemetry
  • Aviation and remote control
  • Fixed VHF base stations
