Mobile Antenna For 150/450/800

Post by Jim1348 »

I am looking for a mobile antenna for 150/450/800. The only one that I am aware of is the Larsen NMO150/450/800. I am just wondering if this is my only (or best) choice for a mobile antenna for all three bands? I can't seem to see any other manufacturers that make an antenna for all three bands. Also, are Larsen antennas fairly well made?

Laird and Sti-Co make multiband antennas, but neither one is as affordable as the Larsen. Best bang for your buck, and just as sturdy.

Look at this topic, covers the Laird multiband antenna and a Diamond Triplexer.

Nothing will will work as well as a good monoband antenna but I've been using the Laird for sometime now and it works for my application. Can get a bit goofy on the hookup depending on the radio(s) you are using.
