The GID-1417 is an Australian manufactured broadband ground independent VHF high band whip antenna engineered for reliable performance across the 148-174 MHz frequency range. Delivering 3 dBi gain in an 850 mm flexible form factor, this antenna provides consistent omnidirectional coverage for a wide range of VHF communication systems. Designed for broadband VHF high band operation, the GID-1417 is well suited to emergency services, Land Mobile Radio (LMR), VHF CB communications, and military or government radio networks (GRN) where multi-channel capability and stable signal performance are essential. Its wide frequency coverage allows operation across multiple channels without the need for retuning, making it ideal for dynamic or multi-user environments. The ground independent design removes the need for a conductive ground plane, enabling effective installation on vehicles, plant equipment, and non-metallic mounting surfaces where traditional antennas may not perform efficiently. The detachable whip configuration provides added flexibility, allowing the radiating element to be removed in high-risk environments or where clearance is limited. Fitted with a UHF male PL259 connector, the GID-1417 is designed to interface with standard UHF female SO-239 base assemblies, including right-angle cable bases (RA-4.7/RA-8.0) and magnetic mounts (MGB-UHF/ZMB-90). For optimal performance, the antenna should be mounted as high as practical to maintain a clear, unobstructed omnidirectional radiation pattern. The flexible whip construction allows deflection under impact while returning to vertical alignment, helping maintain correct polarisation and consistent RF performance in mobile or high-vibration environments. Combining broadband VHF coverage, ground independent operation, and rugged flexible construction, the GID-1417 from ZCG Scalar is a dependable solution for professional VHF communications across a wide range of demanding applications.
