Antennas, line kits and accessories
for base stations
Falcon Direct offers a variety of antennas, line kits, and accessories for base stations and repeaters. On-site stations such as the Ritron Patriot of Liberty repeater often need nothing more that the flex antenna supplied. For longer range, any of the antennas can be used although the last two models in the list below are normally used only with 50 or 100 watt full power stations. We offer two basic types of transmission cable as well as a variety of accessories to protect your base station abnormal electrical damage. Licensing and tower installation can be arranged if desired. If you don't see the desired antenna below, click here for additional base station models from Sinclair or here for antennas by Childs Antenna. For your general information, we have provided pricing on post sales service plans on all models of base stations and repeaters. When you deal with Falcon Direct, you get a TOTAL solution!

Packaged antenna and cable kits
The above calculations assume an antenna mounting height of 15 feet at the antenna base. Greater range is possible by installing the antenna at an area of high elevation over average terrain and/or erecting a tower (this can get expensive). If you would like a quote on a tower, just give us a call at 1-800-489-2611. A word about licensing All fixed stations must be licensed - period, no exceptions, ever, for anybody except one. The MURS (Multi Use Radio Service) is available for anyone to use - business, personal or public safety. Five frequencies are available in the VHF 150 - 154 MHz band for fixed station, mobile, handheld or paging use. Additional information is available by calling Josie Lynch at 301.309.2380. External Antenna and cable Systems For those who want to choose a specific antenna package with the option of selecting the antenna, cable and accessories separately, choose from the price guide below. Note: Other accessories may be required for installation. If the antenna is to be mounted on an existing tower, a side mount bracket may be required. The Antenex antenna can be installed on a CB/TV type mast since it weighs only 3 lbs and is approximately 6' in height. The DB-224 is approximately 20' high and weighs approximately 40 lbs. This antenna is designed for mounting on a commercial grade tower such as the Rohn #25G. If you have any questions, please send us an email at sales@falcondirect.com or call (205) 854-2611. Base Station Accessories Post Sale Service Plans Customer is responsible for return to ICOM, Midland, Ritron, TEKK, or other manufacturer as applicable during warranty term (Motorola pays shipping both ways).
