The Diamond X50 is a premium, high-performance dual-band omnidirectional base station antenna precision-engineered in Japan by Diamond Antenna Corporation. Measuring 1.7 meters in length and constructed as a rigid, heavy-duty vertical radiator, this authentic Japanese-manufactured antenna is optimized for exceptional transmission and reception across the VHF (144–146 MHz) and UHF (430–440 MHz) bands. As the official exclusive distributor in Spain, Pihernz Communications guarantees the sourcing of 100% original Diamond hardware, ensuring maximum durability and protecting your radio infrastructure from low-quality counterfeits.
Built to withstand severe weather conditions, the X50 features an ultra-rugged Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) outer radome that provides total resistance against heavy UV exposure and moisture ingress, boasting a maximum wind velocity rating of up to 216 km/h (60 m/sec). The internal radiating core is meticulously engineered with high-conductivity copper and brass elements, utilizing a 6/8-wave architecture on VHF to deliver a strong 4.5 dB gain, and a triple 5/8-wave matrix on UHF to achieve an outstanding 7.2 dB gain. To safeguard connected transceivers from atmospheric static, the antenna features an integrated DC-grounded electrical structure. The kit comes pre-packaged with high-durability aluminum mounting clamps, stainless steel hardware, and an integrated SO-239 (UHF Female / M-J) connection socket.
