The whip is 28.5 inches of heavy-duty fiberglass on a stainless steel spring base, tuned for the GMRS band at 462 to 468 MHz. It mounts through a standard 1\/2 inch hole, so it bolts to a wide range of bullbar tabs and aftermarket brackets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3 dB gain is the whole point. A lower-gain antenna radiates a taller signal that fills valleys, drops into draws, and pushes through dense forest. Higher-gain antennas reach farther across flat, open ground, but they flatten the pattern and can shoot right over a rig sitting one ridge away. For convoy and trail comms in tight country, 3 dB is the spec you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the value pack, so the kit is complete in the box: the antenna, the interchangeable stainless spring base, and a 19.5 ft coax cable with a removable PL-259 connector. The spring base lets the whip bend back from branches and trail debris instead of snapping. One note: the mounting bracket the stud passes through is sold separately, so match it to your bullbar before install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003caside class=\"boondock-bill\" style=\"position:relative;overflow:hidden;background:#161719 radial-gradient(ellipse 60% 80% at 82% 28%, rgba(199,93,42,0.22) 0%, transparent 60%);border:1px solid #2D2E31;border-radius:12px;padding:24px 28px;margin:24px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 14px 0;color:#E37545;font-family:Geist,-apple-system,system-ui,sans-serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:-0.01em;\"\u003eBoondock Bill's Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:18px;align-items:flex-start;\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0576\/0404\/6931\/files\/xgrid-boondock-bill.png?v=1779057958\" alt=\"Boondock Bill\" style=\"width:88px;height:88px;border-radius:50%;flex-shrink:0;border:2px solid #C75D2A;background:#0E0F11;object-fit:cover;\"\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin:0;flex:1;min-width:0;color:rgba(245,247,250,0.85);font-family:Geist,-apple-system,system-ui,sans-serif;font-style:italic;font-size:15px;line-height:1.6;\"\u003eOpen the box and you've got the whole rig, friend — the 28.5-inch whip, that stainless spring base, and a full 19.5 feet of coax, all in one carton. No second order, no parts run to the radio shop while your buddies are airin' down at the trailhead. Bill's been burned before, bolting up an antenna only to find the cable was an add-on — not this one. The spring base is the part Bill leans on hardest: it lets the whip lay back off a low branch and pop right up instead of snappin' clean off. Pick your bullbar bracket, run the coax through the firewall, and you're talkin' the same afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/aside\u003e","brand":"Midland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44832840843347,"sku":"MDLD-MXAT05VP","price":249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0576\/0404\/6931\/files\/MXAT05-825952_5000x__56672.1714079596.jpg?v=1780067417","url":"https:\/\/www.xgridoutfitters.com\/products\/midland-3-db-heavy-duty-bullbar-antenna-with-spring-base-and-cable-b","provider":"XGRiD Campers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
