Mobile Overview

We have three different ranges of Mobile Products.

LongHaul Pro Antennas - groundplane independent :

LongHaul Pro antennas are an innovative range, covering VHF high band and all UHF communications frequencies. These antennas were designed to fit the following criteria: superb electrical performance, rugged components, easy installation and a very competitive price. LongHaul Pro antennas can be interchanged on the LongHaul Pro mount, for example, a halfwave can be changed for a colinear if a higher gain antenna is needed

LongHaul Antennas - groundplane required:

These are the well proven original Pacific designs, from the days where only Maxwell Smart had a cellular phone, and everyone else was on VHF two way radio. The full communications spectrum is covered by this range, offering installers an economical option and a way of matching existing installation components of trucks and vans.

MicroMount Antennas - groundplane required:

The very small size and single eight millimetre hole required for installation makes these antennas ideal for roof and boot mount installation on passenger cars. The MicroMount antenna range covers all UHF communications bands, and VHF high band.

GLOSSARY

Along with descriptions and pictures, we have listed the technical specifications for each antenna. The following glossary explains the terms used:

Frequency:

The frequency range, in Megahertz (MHz), that the antenna is tuned to cover.

Antenna Type:

The electrical design of the antenna. A full explanation of half-wave, collinear and tuned dipole is here.

Gain:

The gain figure that can be measured on the antenna. A full explanation of gain is here.

Marine Gain:

The gain figures that some manufacturers use to market their antennas. We have included these figures to allow “apples with apples” comparisons.

VSWR:

Voltage Standing Wave Ratio – a measurement of how efficiently the antenna is working at the frequency being tested. Our antennas typically measure 1.2:1 or better, which is equivalent to 99% efficiency.

DC Meter Reading:

The reading that a DC meter will give when a test is done between the centre and the outer of the coax. The antennas work on RF, not DC.
