Take your home base station to the next level. The Retevis MA05 is a high-performance, omni-directional antenna designed for amateur radio operators who demand superior gain and durability. Its fiberglass (FRP) radome construction completely encloses the antenna elements, protecting them from ice, wind, and harsh Canadian weather, ensuring a long and reliable service life.
This antenna is a true powerhouse, providing an impressive 5.5dBi of gain on VHF and a staggering 8.5dBi of gain on UHF. This massive, omni-directional gain is perfect for hitting all the repeaters in your area and for making clear, long-distance simplex contacts from your home base station.
