Laird Technologies 806-896 MHz 5dBi A-Base NMO Antenna

SKU CH-T997-JB95M

Operates across 806-896 MHz with 5dBi gain and an NMO mount for quick vehicle installation

  • Product typeAntenna
  • 806-896 MHz range supports 4G LTE and 5G NR networks
  • 5 dBi gain extends mobile radio coverage distance
  • NMO mount style enables rapid antenna deployment
  • Long tuning ferrule allows frequency adjustment without trimming
  • Gold-plated push-pin contact resists corrosion for lasting performance

Vehicle Radio Antenna

The Laird Technologies antenna operates across the 806-896 MHz band with 5dBi gain for mobile radio systems. It uses an NMO mount for rapid installation on fleet vehicles and RVs needing reliable coverage. The design supports demanding communications in transport and field-service roles. It is not suited for buyers who need higher gain or wider frequency coverage.

Thermals Noise Power

Passive antenna elements produce no heat and draw no electrical power during operation. The gold-plated push-pin contact maintains low-loss signal transfer without active components. Silent performance is inherent because there are no moving parts or cooling requirements. The unit adds no thermal load to the vehicle electrical system.

Mount And Tuning Benefits

The A-Base NMO mount enables quick removal or replacement without tools for service intervals. A long tuning ferrule provides frequency adjustment freedom without cutting the whip element. Gold plating on the contact resists corrosion in exposed roof-mount locations. Installers who need fixed-length or non-adjustable antennas gain no advantage from this feature.

Questions about this item

How do I install the NMO mount antenna on my vehicle roof, and what step is often missed?

Drill a single hole for the NMO base, route the coaxial cable through it, then tighten the locking nut until the gold-plated push-pin seats firmly; the step people skip is confirming the ferrule turns freely for final frequency tuning before the nut is locked.

What part of this antenna will need checking or replacement after extended outdoor use?

The gold-plated push-pin contact and the tuning ferrule threads should be inspected for corrosion or seizing; if the ferrule no longer rotates smoothly, the antenna will lose its tuning range and must be replaced.

At what frequency limit does performance drop first when the antenna is used continuously at high power?

The antenna is specified for 806 to 896 MHz; sustained operation near the 896 MHz edge will show rising VSWR and heating before the lower end does.
