Description

DA1500 Wideband Discone Antenna – 70 to 1500 MHz The **DA1500 Discone Antenna** is a compact, lightweight, wideband receiving antenna designed for continuous frequency coverage from **70 MHz to 1500 MHz**. Featuring a 13-element discone design, it provides omnidirectional reception, making it suitable for wideband monitoring, RF signal reception, and communication monitoring applications. With a typical gain of 2 dBi (excluding cable losses), a 50 Ω impedance, and a maximum rated wind velocity of 50 m/s, the DA1500 delivers reliable reception in a variety of operating environments. Its compact dimensions and lightweight construction make it ideal for installations where space and mounting flexibility are important. The antenna supports mast diameters from 25 mm to 50 mm and is supplied with V-bolts for secure mounting, a 15-metre RG-58A/U coaxial cable with MP-BNCP connectors, and a BNCJ-NP adapter for convenient connectivity.
