RF Explorer antennas
Antennas are a very important accessory to properly detect signals with the best sensitivity in a given
frequency range. Using an incorrect antenna will result in poor, usually very low signal detection or no
detection at all.
The included antennas are suited for most popular frequency bands, but do not have full coverage of all
possible frequency ranges. The user must order separated antennas for additional frequency ranges, if that is
required, for proper operation. RF Explorer is compatible with any 50-ohm standard antenna of any shape,
size or application.
Telescopic dual band 144/430MHz
This is a telescopic, high quality 2dBi antenna ideally suited for 144MHz and 430MHz bands, typically used in
two-way radios and HAM bands.
It offers a good response in all frequencies below
1GHz. Use this antenna in all ranges of frequencies
between 15-1000MHz. In some cases, collapsing
partially or totally may provide better response in
the highest frequencies of the range.
The metallic structure of the antenna is a direct
connection to the core RF connection, therefore
take precautions for the antenna not being in
contact with strong electric fields or DC current.
This antenna is included in all RF Explorer PLUS
models, as well as RF Explorer WSUB1G, RF
Explorer 3G and 6G Combo and RF Explorer ISM
Combo.
UHF 400-900MHz antenna
It is ideal choice for Pro Audio and Video professionals. This antenna is
included with all RF Explorer PLUS models.
The RF Explorer UHF antenna is a high performance, custom made
robust rubber duck model for 400-900MHz range. It covers all TV and
Digital TV Broadcast (DTVB) and the range used for all UHF Wireless
Microphones from major brands.
This antenna is recommended for RF Explorer for best reception and
sensitivity in UHF range.
