2 Element FM Aerial Open Dipole

FM2 2-Element Directional FM Aerial

The FM2 is a compact 2-element directional VHF/FM aerial designed for reliable reception across the 88-108 MHz FM broadcast band.

Its directional design provides improved signal reception and rejection of unwanted signals compared with a simple omnidirectional FM aerial, making it suitable where the transmitter direction is known or improved FM reception is required.

Features:

• Suitable for VHF FM Radio reception.
• Covers the full 88-108 MHz FM broadcast band.
• 2-element directional design.
• 3 dBd / 5.2 dBi gain.
• 45° beamwidth.
• Designed for horizontally mounted installations.
• Helps reduce interference from unwanted signal directions.
• Lightweight construction at approximately 0.66 kg.
• Suitable for domestic and professional FM radio reception.
• Element design utilises solid plastic securing clips onto a strong boom section.
• Mounting bracket for aerial will fit mast diameter from 1" (25.4mm) to 2" (50.8mm).
• Packed one per bag.
