Our most advanced designs, the 4242-MK2A and 4242-MK3, feature high performance in the 30-88 MHz band, plus an improved power rating. The 4242-MK3 covers the 30-108 MHz band.<\/p>\n<p class=\"proddetailbody\">These high-performance broadband antennas are ideally suited for use on personnel carriers, tanks, shelters, and other tactical vehicles. They maintain a VSWR of better than 3.5:1 over the entire frequency spectrum, and the bandwidth is instantaneous, with out the need for tuners or band switching. No operator intervention required.<\/p>\n<p class=\"proddetailbody\">Uniquely designed to meet the specifications for frequency-agile radios, the 4242-MK Series antennas are also compatible with fixed frequency transceivers, These passive antennas do not require tuning, band switching, a motor drive, a cable harness, or a DC voltage source to the antenna.
