Nearly half the commercial communications radios sold today are portables. With the installed base increasing at an extraordinary rate, the demand for replacement antennas is growing fast. Unlike mobile and base antennas, portable radio antennas are subject to a variety of abuses leading to premature failure. Antennas are twisted off, sat on, slammed in the door and used to pull the radios out of their holsters! The result is an average need for replacement every four years.
Portable radio antennas cover a broad range of applications including:
- Cellular/PCS fixed and telescoping masts
- LMR/SMR fixed, flexible rubber antennas
- Rigid, rotating, flexible and telescoping antennas for portable data terminals
- Various other communications and telemetry applications.
There are several antenna types to fit a specific radio. The type selected depends on exact customer requirements including:
- Radio model
- Connector type
- Frequency range
- Performance desired
- Size constraints
- Budget
A proper replacement can restore or improve radio performance. With a good understanding of portable radio antennas, a sales associate or technician can make the right choice the first time and assure a happy customer.
