Antenna Basics
Your Mobile Radio Kit does not include an Antenna. It is VERY Important to NOT transmit without a
antenna or dummy load attached to the mobile radio. Doing so, will cause harm to the internal
components of your radio.
You will want to choose a suitable antenna for the bands you plan on transmitting and receiving on.
If you plan on transmitting on 145MHz you will want to ensure you have picked an antenna that
states it is capable of working with 145MHz. If an antenna is not properly tuned for the frequency
you transmit on – it can cause damage with the reflected power going back into the radio.
Pick an antenna with SWR of less than 1.5:1 to safely transmit.
Grounding Plane:
Antennas require an appropriate grounding plane to properly work:
Magnetically Mounted Antennas:
These antennas must be grounded to a metal surface, such as a vehicle body. Magnetic base
antennas do not properly operate unless they are fully magnetically grounded first.
