This one goes out to the hard-working first responders out there. If you’re a dispatcher at a police or fire station, if you control your city’s communications, you’re a base station. And, if you’re having trouble reaching people in the field, you probably need an antenna upgrade. It’s not always easy to know what you need, because there are so many choices. Luckily, you have a “friend in the business.”
Base station antennas from Solid Signal
SolidSignal.com has the best selection of base station antennas. Chances are, you can get the specs for the broadcast system you need from an owner’s manual. Then it’s just a matter of choosing the right antenna. We make that super easy with our wide selection of base station antennas.
If you’re not sure what kind of system you have, just look at the amplifier, usually it’s a black box with knobs that your microphone plugs into. Make a note of the manufacturer and model, then call us at 888-233-7563. We’ll be happy to help you figure out what you need.
But, of course, even if you know what antenna you need (or if you’re relocating an existing antenna) you’re going to need some cable. You can get that from us as well.
Choosing the right cable
Luckily, most base station antennas use the same kind of cable. It looks a lot like standard TV antenna cable, so you might choose to go to the local home store. That’s not going to work. The connectors are the wrong shape and even if you adapt them, it’s the wrong kind of cable. There are several different kinds of coaxial cable that look very similar to the naked eye.
The cable you need
In almost every case, this is the cable you’re going to really need. It’s Wilson’s version of LMR-400 cable. LMR400 is a generic term for a 50-ohm cable with certain other characteristics, and Wilson puts their brand name on it as a sign of quality. This cable is rated for extremely low loss across long distances. It’s available in several different lengths, and comes with N connectors already attached. The N connector is an industrial connector used for this sort of antenna, and it’s almost certainly the right one for the antenna you’re considering.
Getting even more custom
What if you need a custom length of cable? What if you need a different kind of connector? No problem! Call the experts at Solid Signal. We can find the right cable in our inventory of over 40,000 products. If it doesn’t exist “as is,” we’ll get it professionally made at our lab! We can accommodate virtually any need.
