A.H. Systems Model Active Monopole Antennas

MAINTENANCE

To ensure reliable and repeatable long-term performance, annual
re-calibration of your active monopole preamplifier by A.H.
Systems’ experienced technicians is recommended. Our staff can
recalibrate almost any type or brand of antenna.

For more information about our calibration services or to place an
order for antenna calibration, visit our website at
www.AHSystems.com or call (818) 998-0223.
