Title: Base Station Antenna Sales For Radar Box?
Post by: Radiowave on April 05, 2012, 06:31:48 AM

From the posts I have read on this forum, it seems one can only buy a good base antenna and cable in England. The hobby is big, there, more than in the U.S.A.

Is there any place in the U.S.A. that sells 1090 Mhz outdoor antennas and appropriate cable?

I have the DPD antenna and it is a first class piece of kit.  Dave the owner of DPD is very knowledgable and will provide any assistance you require to ensure you get what you need.  Drop him a line.
