Midland MicroMobile MXAT01VP Antenna

The 7.5dB gain significantly increases your signal range, making it ideal for clear, long-distance communication in open environments like plains or highways. It effectively focuses your radio's power to reach further than a standard, lower-gain antenna.

Yes, the package includes the 50-inch fiberglass antenna, the NMO-style mounting hardware, and a 19.5-foot COAX cable. You will only need to ensure you have a suitable mounting location and the tools to drill a 1/2-inch hole if one is not already present.

This antenna is designed specifically for GMRS frequencies (462-468 MHz), not CB radio frequencies. While it uses an NMO-style mount that is physically compatible with many standard mounts, it will not function correctly if connected to a CB radio.

For the best performance, mount the antenna on the highest point of your vehicle, such as the roof, to ensure a clear line of sight. Because it is 50 inches tall, ensure the mounting location is sturdy enough to handle the wind load and height clearance requirements.

While this antenna is durable, its 50-inch length and 7.5dB gain are optimized for open, flat terrain. In dense forests or areas with low-hanging branches, a shorter, more flexible antenna might be a better choice to avoid damage.
