FAQ

Q: What specific frequency bands are covered by 600-6000 MHz?
A: This range includes numerous bands: VHF (600+ MHz), UHF, cellular LTE (700/800/900/1800/2100/2600 MHz), 5G sub-6 GHz, Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz, and various ISM/SRD bands up to 6 GHz.

Q: Is this antenna suitable for outdoor permanent installation?
A: Yes, with its rubber housing, wide temperature tolerance, and integrated lightning protection, it is well-suited for permanent outdoor use. Proper weatherproofing of the connector is recommended.

Q: What does DC-ground lightning protection mean?
A: DC-ground provides a direct current path to earth ground, helping to divert static charges and induced currents from lightning strikes. For complete protection, additional surge arrestors at the cable entry point are advised in high-risk areas.

Q: Can I use this with standard SMA equipment?
A: The antenna uses an RP-SMA male connector, which is not directly compatible with standard SMA female ports without an adapter. Verify your equipment's connector type before installation.

Q: How should this antenna be mounted for optimal performance?
A: Mount vertically with a clear view of the horizon for best omnidirectional coverage. Use appropriate mounts (adhesive, magnetic, or screw-type) that secure the base firmly and maintain the antenna's upright position.
