DB 404 BROAD BAND ANTENNA 3.8 or 5 dB GAIN, 406-512 MHz

 DB 404The DB404, with its 2-stack collinear array of dual dipoles, provides a broad bandwidth that allows the antenna to be ordered in advance of frequency assignment.
  • Extremely Rugged - Resists wind to 125 mph (201 km/hr)
  • Broad Response - With 14 to 24 MHz bandwidth, DB404 is highly suitable for duplex operation.
  • Moisture Resistant - VAPOR-BLOC� cable harness provides weather protection and assures inphase signal distribution to all elements.
  • Circular Pattern - DB 404 has the dual dipoles at the top aligned at a 90 degree angle from the dual dipoles at the bottom.
  • Offset Pattern - DB404L has all dual dipoles in line, collinearly, along the mast.
  • Side Mounting - Either model can be side mounted, resulting in significantly different patterns.
  • Field Changeable - Patterns can be adjusted with ordinary hand tools.
  • Lightning Resistant - The radiators operate at DC ground and the aluminum mast with its pointed cap provides a low resistance discharge path to the tower or ground system.

    Ordering Information - Use model number for correct frequency and specify termination if non-standard. Order DB404 for omni pattern, DB404L for offset pattern. DB365-OS Clamps are included. Order DB5007 Side Mount Kit if needed. Other size clamps can be special ordered. 
    Example:
    DB404-B, DB404L-B for 450-470 MHz range. Order jumper cable separately, if desired.
