Beam Antenna RST714B
Satellite Communications Cellular Antenna
1616-1626MHz
ANTENNA DESCRIPTION
The RST714B satellite communications antenna is a popular choice for good reasons:
Improves signal strength for satellite phones
Robust construction ensuring a long service life.
The antenna mounts easily into any bracket with 12.7 mm (½") minimum diameter hole
and is secured firmly by the nut and washer at the base of the spring assembly.
The high quality electro-polished stainless-steel straight spring dampens vibrations while
travelling.
5 meters of LMR240UF low loss stranded cable bottom exits from the spring assembly. A
TNC male connector is fitted to the cable for easy installation.
CORRECT INSTALLATION
Selecting the Mounting Position
No metal ground plane is necessary for the antenna to operate effectively.
The typical mounting position for this antenna is to your vehicle bull bar, although the guard
or boot are other potential mounting points using the appropriate bracket with 12.7 mm
(½") minimum diameter hole. The antenna can also be mounted in locations other than on
a vehicle.
