X50A 144/440 MHz Dual Band Amateur Base Antenna. Fiberglass radome, Stainless steel hardware, Wide Band Performance, Factory adjusted - no tuning required, High wind rating, DC grounded.
- Precision-engineered dual-band base and repeater antenna designed for both 2 meter (144–148 MHz) and 70 centimeter (435–450 MHz) amateur radio bands, offering broad coverage in VHF and UHF frequency ranges without manual tuning
- Gain performance of approximately 4.5 dB on the 2 meter band and 7.2 dB on the 70 centimeter band enhances both transmit strength and receive sensitivity for clearer communications and extended coverage on repeaters and fixed stations
- Built with a robust fiberglass radome and corrosion-resistant stainless-steel hardware to withstand outdoor environments, extreme weather, and high wind loads up to approximately 135 MPH without ice buildup for reliable long-term deployment
- Factory-adjusted design means no field tuning is required, simplifying installation on masts and towers while providing stable VSWR performance below 1.5:1 across the operational frequency range for efficient RF transfer and minimal signal loss
- Standard UHF female connector offers broad compatibility with most coax feed lines and mount systems, making the antenna suitable for base station hubs, repeater systems, community networks, and amateur radio setups
- True dual-band performance covering 144–148 MHz and 435–450 MHz with medium-to-high gain characteristics
- 4.5 dB gain on 2 m and 7.2 dB gain on 70 cm for stronger signal reach and repeater performance
- Rugged fiberglass radome and stainless-steel hardware for all-weather reliability
- Factory pre-tuned design eliminates field tuning and simplifies installation
- Standard UHF female connector for broad coax and mount compatibility
