Need base station antennas? We’ve got ’em at Solid Signal!

See the image at the top of this article? It is an antenna. For most of you, it may not be interesting. You may not even realize it’s an antenna when you look at it. But yes, it’s an antenna. This particular antenna specializes in picking up frequencies from 138-174 megahertz, which is right in the middle of the VHF television band. It’s set up to receive vertically polarized signals, which is why it’s tall instead of wide, which is the way that TV antennas are. It’s also quite a bit more expensive than your average TV antenna. There’s a reason for that.

Here’s the story of this antenna

This antenna is actually used for first-responder radios and other really specialized reception, so it’s the sort of thing you’d find on a tower attached to your local TV station. It’s probably not the sort of thing that you’re sitting in your home just wishing someone would give you as a present. Well, I can’t speak for every one of you out there, but for most of us it wouldn’t be much of a present.

If you find yourself in the market for this antenna or literally any other sort of specialty antenna, you’ll find the best selection at Solid Signal. We have antennas that pick up everything from .5MHz to 28,000MHz, from local walkie-talkie traffic to signals from the furthest reaches of space. Whether you’re a first-responder, a business operator, a financial whiz, or a home theater buff, you’ll get the antenna you need at Solid Signal. There are thousands of choices available. Most of them can’t be found for purchase anywhere else on the internet. That’s what makes SolidSignal.com so special.

Finding the antenna you need

The easiest way to find the antenna you want out of the extraordinary selection we have is to search for the frequency range you need. In general this is dictated by the kind of radio or TV signal you want, although the most popular categories (TV antennas and satellite dishes) have their own categories. You can usually find the frequency range either on the radio or TV receiver itself or in the owners’ manual or online documentation. Search for that frequency range and you’ll generally find a great selection of antennas that work with it.
