DB 516 OMNIDIRECTIONAL ANTENNA 5 dBd GAIN, 144-174 MHz

DB516 is a VHF antenna enclosed in a Horizon Blue^TM radome made of strong, lightweight Aeroglas® fiberglass, a Decibel exclusive for antennas. Aeroglas is also used for helicopter rotor blades, Olympic vaulters' poles and racing sailboat masts.

Sturdy Construction - In addition to an Aeroglas radome, the antenna has a weather-resistant, gold iridited support pipe made of 6061-T6 aluminum alloys.
Engineered to Last - All metals used in radiator, feed and matching systems are copper or brass, which minimizes galvanic reaction and reduces intermodulation.
Lightning Resistant - A DC ground is provided.
Moisture Resistant - The bottom cap has a moisture-sealed bulkhead UHF connector, and a drain plug at the top of the antenna insures drainage in an inverted position.
Ready to Install - A DB366 Mounting Kit and Vapor-Wrap® are provided for easy installation.
Ordering Information
