WISCO International (Decibel Products / Fiberglass

DB538 is a UHF antenna with patented Center-Fed-Collinear® (CFC") design. Radiators are enclosed in a Horizon Blue™ radome made of strong, lightweight Aeroglas® fiberglass, a Decibel exclusive for antennas. Aeroglas is also used for helicopter 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 N-Female connector, and a drain plug at the top and bottom provides for drainage in upright or inverted positions.

Ready to Install - DB366 Mounting Kit and Vapor-Wrap® are provided for easy installation.

Ordering Information - Use model number for correct frequency. Clamps are included.
Example: DB538-J for 460-470 MHz frequency range. Order jumper cable separately, if desired.
