The Browning BR-180 is the "Sweet Spot" of mobile antennas. At 37 inches tall, it is compact enough to fit in most garages yet features a high-performance Open Coil design that delivers significantly better gain than standard 1/4 wave whips.
Constructed with a stainless steel whip and a chrome-plated brass base, the BR-180 is built to handle high-power mobile radios (up to 100 Watts). Its center-load design provides a wide bandwidth and low SWR across both 2 Meter and 70cm bands, making it a reliable daily driver for serious Ham Radio operators.
