2.4GHz Enclosed Yagi Antenna - New 7/1999

2.4GHz Enclosed Yagi Antenna

The new YE series enclosed yagi from Antenex® features rugged construction that is superior to the competition. This 2.4 GHz Yagi antenna is completely sealed and cannot be disassembled by hand. The Antenex® enclosed Yagi antenna is 12.5 dB gain, constructed of 15 brass elements and has a folded dipole feed. The tubular radome is 18" long and 3" in diameter enclosed with two 2" U-bolts for ease in mast mounting. This enclosed Yagi antenna utilizes a heavy aluminum mounting plate, rather than plastic like our competition, for long term survivability. The rigid internal construction and air filled radome yields a higher efficiency and greater performance than the stamped or printed circuit versions. This entire antenna package is 1.6 lbs. and comes with an 18" pigtail of low loss coax cable terminated with an N female connector. The YE series has a VSWR of <2.1:1 from 2.4 GHz to 2.48 GHz and can be mounted outdoors in even the most harsh weather conditions.

Mobile Antenna Line in a New Molded White ABS Housing. - New 5/1999

Mobile Antenna Line in a New Molded White ABS Housing

Antenex mobile coil antennas, popular in black are now available in white. Featuring the same UV inhibiting all virgin ABS thermoset plastic as the black models but with a "snow white" look for low visibility on white pursuit vehicles or limousines. The white mobile antennas also feature a gold plated push-pin contact, which has been designed to out-last any leaf spring contact. These antennas are available with a high gloss finish and offered in a wide range of frequencies including; VHF, UHF, 800 and 900 MHz. Call 1-800-323-3757 for further details.

Mountaineer TM Fiberglass Base Station Antennas - New 3/1999

Mountaineers with Optional FM3W Mounting Kit

ANTENEX® once again combines functional elegance with solid electrical design and mechanical innovation in its MountaineerTM family of vertical fiberglass base station antennas. ANTENEX® employs an innovative heavy-duty radial system that allows for freedom in mounting and longer radial life. Only high quality aluminum and stainless steel materials that withstand severe weather conditions are used.

All Mountaineer TM antennas feature flexible 50-year rated weather seals on all exposed joints as well as an improved condensation drain system. Moving a threaded plug from the top to the bottom prepares the antenna for inverted mounting. A special top cap allows for a narrower taper with lowered wind loading, further improving the design.

The woven fiberglass radome, with its low visibility sky blue color dyed into the resin, improves stealth characteristics. Adding the dye to the resin during the fiberglass curing process locks in the color. Additional high tech materials achieve a lowered cross-section mass for lighter weight and reduced wind load.

ANTENEX® uses an industry standard nickel-plated solid brass N-female connector at the feed. This allows for a far better weather seal and lower insertion loss than the SO-239 connectors used in other antennas. MountaineerTM antennas have a cloverleaf-shaped foam damper that is superior to the solid dampers used by other manufacturers.

You can also be assured of the highest quality and integrity for your installation as each Mountaineer TM antenna is fully tested for return loss, gain and proper radiation pattern prior to shipment.

When you need an antenna to withstand the most demanding conditions look no further than the ANTENEX® Mountaineer TM.

Scada MasterTM- No-Tune Yagi Antenna - New 2/1999

Scada MasterT- No-Tune Yagi Antenna

Antenex® SCADA MASTERTM is a rugged seven-element yagi antenna with a folded dipole feed. All seven-elements, including the driven element, on this 10dB-gain antenna are made of solid 6061-T6 aluminum. Antenex® SCADA MASTERTM is fully gold anodized for the ultimate in corrosion protection and reliability. The balun for the dipole is made from solid copper shielded Teflon dielectric coax and is sealed inside the boom of the antenna. Latex construction foam is then injected into the boom, which is filled from the back to the front, leaving no gaps. This helps prevent moisture penetration, which assures a long service life even in the most severe weather conditions. With the combination of these heavy construction materials the SCADA MASTERTM achieves excellent bandwidth and exceptional efficiency. Heavy duty welded aluminum mounts are enclosed in every shipment of each SCADA MASTERTM antenna which, allow for both vertical and horizontal polarized applications.
