Heights, IL March 23, 2005-- Antenex Y(B)80618 series is the latest addition to the Yagi family of antennas. The 18 element fully-welded directional antenna features a frequency range of 806 - 896 MHz and a nominal gain of 14 dBd. Additional specifications include 29^o Horizontal Beamwidth and 32^o Vertical Beamwidth. Rated to survive 150 mph wind velocity, the antennas are currently in use in Northern Canada oil drilling fields. Crews rely on the antennas to deliver cellular signals to towers located 105 miles away.

Two models are available: Model YB80618 features a black anodized finish, Y80618 is fully gold anodized. Internal matching of the antenna eliminates unwanted corrosion and detuning of traditional gamma matched Yagi antennas. A cast mount bracket which accommodates a 2 1/2” mast is included with each antenna.
