RF Explorer antennas
RF Explorer includes one antenna for standard
models, or two antennas for Combo models.
The antennas are selected for its versatility, and they
offer reasonable response over the applicable band.
However, certain applications and uses may require
additional antennas to be purchased separately, such
as directional high gain antennas, narrow band
antennas for a specific band, etc.
RF Explorer is compatible with any 50 ohm standard
antenna of any shape, size or application.
Please use this section as a general reference guide
for the included stock antenna and feel free to
contact us if you need specific antennas, we may help
you to select one.
Nagoya Telescopic NA-773
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 RF Explorer WSUB1G, RF Explorer 3G Combo and RF Explorer ISM Combo.
Whip dipole antennas
These are quality 2dBi antennas designed for narrow band application.
Different RF Explorer models include different antennas; they may look exactly the same externally but are
internally tuned to a specific band and should be ideally used on that band only.
