The PNI ML-145 CB mobile antenna – PNI ML-145 is a mobile CB antenna with 400W power and 145 cm in length, delivered without cable or base. is a commercial-grade, high-power vehicular communication radiator precision-engineered to deliver extended range and stable transmission lines over the citizen band spectrum. Designed to replace restrictive low-gain whip setups, this high-performance mobile antenna provides long-distance coverage and superior signal propagation for operators navigating demanding environments. It stands as an essential operational procurement asset for long-haul commercial logistics fleets, off-road security units, transport command setups, and high-volume B2B radiocommunication accessory wholesale distribution networks looking to source maximum-integrity CB infrastructure accessories.
The advanced internal RF architecture of the PNI ML-145 is optimized to provide efficient broad-spectrum signal tracking across a dedicated working frequency of 26 – 30 MHz, making it fully compatible with European CB allocations and the 10-meter amateur band. Engineered to handle high-duty transmit cycles from amplified mobile transceivers, the heavy-duty loading coil accommodates a robust maximum applied power of 400W. To ensure optimal transmitter protection and eliminate the risk of voltage reflection damage to final-stage power transistors, the matching network achieves a perfect minimum SWR in the center of the band of 1.0 when calibrated, delivering clean signal throughput along a standard system impedance of 50 Ohm.
Constructed to endure punishing multi-season road debris, automatic vehicle washing stress, and continuous high-speed highway wind shear, the main radiator rod is masterfully crafted from premium stainless steel. Standing at an impressive structural length of 145cm (total shipping footprint dimensions of 164x10x3 cm), the mechanical design balances rugged durability with an exceptionally lightweight weight of 280 g, applying minimal torque fatigue to vehicle body panels or magnetic base threads. The feedpoint terminates in a standard, high-retention PL259 connector type and is ready to interface with heavy-duty mounts requiring a standard 16 mm hole diameter. Boasting a wide certified operating temperature of -26 ° + 60 ° C, this turnkey antenna component guarantees absolute technical alignment and field deployment readiness.
