Stop compromising between Ham Radio and Commercial channels. The DistribuComm COMM848V is a "Wide Band" VHF antenna designed to do it all. With an impressive 24 MHz bandwidth, this antenna bridges the gap, allowing users to operate effectively on both the 2-Meter Amateur Band and BC Forest Service / Resource Roads (RR) without constantly retuning or swapping antennas.
Even better, this is a true "No Ground Plane" (NGP) antenna. This means it performs perfectly on surfaces that lack a metal ground, such as fiberglass Jeeps, boats, UTVs, or tractor cabs. Built with a 17-7PH stainless steel tapered whip and a gold-plated push pin, it is rugged, reliable, and proudly distributed from Quebec, Canada.
