📡 Tram-Browning BR-6140 450MHz–470MHz: Premium Pretuned Land Mobile Antenna for Superior Base Station Performance Review

Product assembled correctly All materials are included in the box Easy installation The only problem is the wrong frequency.

Low SWR on GMRS and good reception and transmission range. Simply coat with clear coat and it will last a long time in inclement weather.

This antenna is very good because of its relatively narrow bandwidth. We used it for a 461MHz signal at 2W and were very surprised with the performance. You must be sure that you are operating in the 450-470MHz band.

Works great but the base is all lacquered brass. This would be the ideal antenna if made of brass as this is where the wind load puts the most stress on the antenna. No complaints in terms of functionality. It receives and transmits very well on our UHF repeater. UPDATE: It looks like the bottom is actually some kind of metal with paint on it. It's better IMHO. Also, I finally installed the meter on the antenna and it's a perfect match of 1.0 at 462.650MHz, which is what our repeater is using…

I don't have any fancy equipment to measure signal power or quality. But I connected it and the ping went fine. This is enough to send and receive DMR data for the SCADA system. Now I use three with no problems. The first one I bought has been running without problems for a year and a half. The build quality seems to be good.

The repeater outputs 6.6 watts on low settings on the third floor of a building and…

I bought this antenna for a basic GMRS antenna that covers two frequency bands: 462MHz (simplex frequency) and 467MHz (duplex frequency for repeaters). You can't tune this antenna, but the standard SWR was 1.2 and 1.3 respectively. There is no gain, which is good for most situations and especially GMRS! I like the reviewer who uses it as a mobile antenna in his wooden shield truck. This is actually a great use for this antenna and he said he struggles with higher gain antennas in the mountains.
