This is the upgraded version of the well-known OMNI-BE-046 high-power omni-directional jamming antenna. The frequency range covered is 20 MHz to 500 MHz with a VSWR of less than 2.5:1 with the whips attached. The whips improve the performance in the 20 MHz to 50 MHz band. The antenna’s profile can be reduced by removing the tactical whips where required.
