Blackheart International, the leader in one-stop commo gear, has developed the most versatile mini UHF SATCOM antenna system on the market. The BHI-ANT-243K Series antenna is compact, lightweight, comes standard with several deployment options, and is ideal for troops requiring effective UHF SATCOM voice communications without the added bulk and weight of larger antennas.
Weighing only 1.1 pounds, the dual quad radials collapse and fold alongside the collapsible boom to fit into a water-resistant MOLLE-compliant carrying pouch. The antenna is treated to a dull black anodized finish to reduce glare and protect the metal against weatherization.
Four mounting options are included in the kit:
-
a sturdy, compact tripod base which is the steadiest mini SATCOM tripod available.
-
a magnetic-mount base which is ideal for mounting atop stationary vehicles or on surfaces too small to permit the use of a tripod.
-
an AR-15 pistol grip for quick satellite acquisition.
-
a ground spike stowed inside the magnetic base can be deployed for spiking it into the ground.
The BHI-ANT-243K is the most complete UHF Mini SATCOM antenna system available on the market.Kit includes the 243 antenna, the tripod, pistol grip, magnetic mount and ground spike, MOLLE-compliant carrying case, and a waterproof mini hard case to secure all four components.
