A Military Antenna Is Desired In The Private Sector

By Claudine Hodges


Experts all over the world have been testing and developing new and more accurate communication and data systems. While the Department of Defense is primarily concerned with war-time applications, there are many civilian uses for new technologies, such as the modern military antenna. Government has a number of merchants who represent them in the private sector.

For private aircraft or helicopters, the portable VHF/GPS is ideal. Carrying VHF frequencies up to 137 MHz, and being made to fit a 26.5 dB gain GPS panel mount, means it can be utilized on a variety of craft including helicopters and gliders. Those who travel the world on a yacht caught up to the necessity of GPS technology right away.

The UHF/DECT is a base station whip-style which works on 1.88 to 1.98 gigahertz, or 1880 to 1980 megahertz frequencies. This style is often utilized on ground vehicles, which makes them useful for delivery companies, taxi drivers, as well as school and city buss systems. Pretty much any industry which utilizes local vehicle-based travel will find the DECT useful in their day-to-day business.

For the daily household application, a UHF/W-LAN is the perfect item of technological equipment that the whole family can use. These antennas can keep the whole family connected through wifi signals that make cell phones and computers all part of the household communication program. The old-fashioned dinner bell has gone digital.

None must forget the fact that most technological advancements come via war and conflict in the world. Necessity is always the mother of invention, and nothing creates necessity quite like the drama of armed conflict. This has been true from the WWII creation of our modern Interstate Highway system all the way back to the creation of the wall around the city of Troy.

Previously used items such as old tackle and gun-metal boxes are always available at surplus stores all over. Whether purchasing for a recently returned Veteran, or for an old Sailor, this is one location where this type of technology can be found. It is not difficult to find more up-to-date tools for less when shopping the Army Surplus Store for computer equipment.

For those who were able to remember the first Desert Storm conflict, there was a great deal of consternation regarding sand and dust particles getting inside equipment, including guns and cannons. The decades spent fixing these problems are easily seen in the improvements of electronics utilized in recent years. These newer antennas should be rugged and ready to pick up even the most faint of signals without picking up every particle of dust in the air.

When choosing gifts this Holiday season, whether for an old soldier or a newly returning Veteran, be sure and visit your local Army/Navy surplus stores. You just might be surprised at what Uncle Sam has lined up these days. It is not just a place to buy combat boots or a costume for the next Halloween party, but also a place to stay up-to-date on the latest technology.
