Mirkit UV-18 antenna – reliability, flexibility, optimal performance
The Mirkit UV-18 is a dual-band tactical antenna specifically designed for portable radios, such as Baofeng, Quansheng, and Puxing.
Features:
1. It operates simultaneously in the 144 MHz (wavelength – 2 m) and 430 MHz (70 cm) bands, making it an ideal choice in terms of value for money for paintball players, amateur radio enthusiasts, and special services.
2. Thanks to its flexible whip, this antenna is tactical in nature: it can be easily bent or adjusted, which is useful in the field, when moving, or when working in confined spaces.
3. Its length of 47 cm allows for sufficient gain and coverage without being overly bulky.
4. The SMA-J (“J-male”) connector is compatible with many popular radios (especially budget dual-band models).
5. The antenna is optimized for radios with a maximum power of up to 10 W.
Please note!
– This model is not a “high-power” antenna – its maximum power is limited, so for relay communication or very long distances, it is advisable to use a more powerful option.
– Use with maximum care, if possible, as the “gooseneck” may lose its elasticity over time if bent frequently.
– Due to the SMA-J connector, you need to make sure that your radio has the appropriate port – otherwise, you will need an adapter.
