The ZCG Scalar GID-MB460-SHD is a ground-independent heavy-duty UHF elevated feed whip antenna built for reliable performance across the 450?470 MHz UHF band in demanding vehicle and fixed-site installations. Designed for users who need maximum durability without sacrificing RF performance, this antenna delivers consistent transmit and receive capability in harsh commercial, industrial, and off-road environments. Providing 6.2 dBi gain, the GID-MB460-SHD enhances signal strength and coverage for UHF CB and two-way radio communications, helping maintain clear links across urban areas, regional worksites, and remote terrain. Its 950 mm length offers an effective balance between radiation performance and practical vehicle fitment, making it well suited to 4WDs, mining vehicles, service fleets, and emergency response units. A key feature is the heavy-duty barrel spring base, designed to absorb severe vibration, repeated impacts, and constant movement from corrugated roads or low branches. This added mechanical protection significantly extends antenna life in high-stress environments where standard spring bases may fatigue or fail. The ground-independent elevated feed design ensures predictable performance without relying on the mounting surface as a ground plane, making it ideal for installation on bull bars, roof racks, mirror mounts, and non-metallic structures. Rated at 50 watts, it supports standard UHF radio outputs and comes supplied with a 4.5 metre coaxial cable terminated in a UHF male PL259 connector for straightforward installation. The GID-MB460-SHD delivers a tough, high-performance UHF antenna solution for serious field use.
