Midland MXTA25 MicroMobile Ghost 3dB Gain NMO Antenna

MXTA25 Ghost Antenna: The Grey Man of Vehicle Comms

The Midland MXTA25 MicroMobile Ghost Antenna boosts GMRS two-way radio range in urban areas or environments with heavy obstructions. The low-profile design is ideal for restricted parking areas and avoiding calling attention to your vehicle. *Mount and cable not included

The low profile 3dB gain antenna is factory tuned and designed to double the signal strength of your MXT Series GMRS MicroMobile two way radio. The compact design of the “Ghost” antenna ensures a solid connection to your vehicle and reliable, clear communication while you’re on the road. At only 3.5” tall, the antenna blends in so well to your vehicle you won’t even know it’s there, all the while withstanding anything the environment can throw at it. Requires antenna mount.

Gain on a GMRS antenna refers to the increase in signal strength that the antenna provides compared to a standard reference antenna, typically measured in decibels (dB). Higher gain antennas can extend the range of communication by focusing the signal in specific directions, but they may also have limitations in obstructed environments. Lower gain antennas typically have a wider radiation pattern, which allows them to receive and transmit signals from multiple directions. In areas with obstacles like buildings or trees, a lower gain antenna can pick up signals that might be reflected or scattered, improving overall communication reliability. Higher gain antennas, while providing more focused signals over longer distances, may struggle in such environments due to their narrower beamwidth and sensitivity to obstructions.
