Kit

Many of our MURS radios enable you to remove the included antenna and add an external antenna. For MURS radios, the FCC limits antenna height to 20 feet above a structure, or 60 feet above ground (whichever is greater). The higher you place your antenna, the greater range you will get.

The radiating element is a 5/8 wave design with a center frequency of 153.210 MHz. The core material is 3/8" (9.5mm) solid fiberglass that is wound with 19ga heavy insulated copper wire. The radiating element is approximately 45" long (114cm). All of this is covered with white, UV stabilized PVC shrink tubing. The antenna base threads are the common 3/8"-24.

A combination angle bracket, u-bolt, hub plate and antenna stud is central to the assembly of the base antenna. This assembly mounts to the top of any mast up to 1.5" (38mm) in diameter. The kit comes with four (4) structural aluminum radials that measure 1/8" x 1/2" x 20" (3mm x 13mm x 51cm). Each is pre-drilled to mount to the hub plate.

All mounting and assembly hardware is included (assembly is required). Also included is a three foot cable with a PL-259 (UHF) connector to connect to the antenna on one end, and a male BNC connector on the other. You will need to add additional cable in the proper length with a FEMALE BNC connector on one end and a MALE BNC for the Callbox XT or base station intercoms on the other.. The recommended cable is an RG-8X or RG58A/U (not RG58/U) coax . Here is a web site that can build a custom cable for you: custom cables

Sturdy antenna

This is a nice sturdy antenna. Tried it out with my BTECH MURS-V1 radios and it worked great. Easily covers the entire neighborhood and then some. Still haven't gone out far enough to see exactly how much range I've gained. It's well-built, and looks like it will last a long time.

Murs

Antenna 5/8 wave ground plane 27 feet high works great. Tested base antenna to handheld. Drove west from my house and tested every 1/2 mile. Went as far as 5 1/2 air miles from the base antenna and received the base easily. I live out in the country and in open areas. Because of my landscape I think in should go a lot farther. The antenna and radios kg-805m work very well.
