The PNI ML-160B mobile CB antenna kit is a commercial-grade, high-efficiency vehicular radiation element engineered to deliver extended long-range performance and maximum link stability across the Citizen Band and amateur ten-meter bands. Constructed with a premium stainless steel whip radiator, this antenna stands at a commanding physical height of 155 cm (including the base). The structural length of the whip is specifically optimized to compress vertical radiation angles toward the horizon, maximizing the operating footprint. Built to manage punishing power levels up to a 600 Watts maximum applied power rating, it serves as an essential, high-rotation operational procurement package for commercial freight trucks, industrial logistics fleets, regional utility service pools, and high-volume B2B radiocommunication accessory wholesale networks across European markets.
The precise electrical engineering of the PNI ML-160B delivers a highly stable 50-Ohm characteristic impedance spanning a wide 25 MHz to 30 MHz frequency range across 90 dedicated channels. Under ideal field conditions, this vertically polarized system achieves an exceptional minimum SWR of 1.0 (with a calibrated operational profile of ≤ 1.1) in the center of the band, providing top-tier transceiver protection and clean signal propagation. Under optimized operating parameters—such as an open field without structural obstacles and paired with a standard legal 4 Watt station—the antenna system natively achieves a reliable working distance of 15 km or more.
Supplied as a comprehensive, ready-to-deploy technical package, the kit incorporates an industrial-grade 145 mm high-retention magnetic base. Outfitted with a powerful magnetic core matrix, this base establishes a secure, non-destructive mechanical bond on any metallic vehicular surface, ensuring absolute structural stability even at high highway transit velocities. Pre-wired with a 4-meter premium RG-58 coaxial feedline lead and pre-terminated with a standard PL-259 male connector plug, this turnkey mobile antenna assembly guarantees instant out-of-the-box system alignment and absolute technical fleet operational readiness.
