Uniden 3dBi Heavy Duty Low Profile UHF Antenna ATX970XS

The Uniden ATX970XS is a heavy duty, low profile UHF CB antenna designed for 4WDs and touring vehicles where durability matters but a tall antenna isn't always practical. At just 560mm mounted height, it sits considerably lower than many traditional fibreglass UHF antennas while still using a heavy duty stainless steel spring and fibreglass radome construction suited to rough roads and off road travel.

Its ground independent design allows it to be mounted in a wider range of positions without relying on a large metal ground plane, making it well suited to bull bars, antenna brackets, canopies and other common 4WD installations.

3dBi for Mixed & Undulating Terrain

The ATX970XS uses a 3.0dBi gain antenna design. Compared with higher gain UHF antennas, a lower gain antenna generally produces a broader vertical radiation pattern. This can make it a good choice for hilly, undulating and mixed terrain where vehicles are not always operating at the same elevation.

Actual communication range will still depend on terrain, antenna position, surrounding obstacles, radio installation and other environmental conditions.

Low Profile 560mm Height

With a mounted height of just 560mm, the ATX970XS is a practical choice for touring vehicles where roof clearance, garages, vegetation and overall vehicle height need to be considered. The shorter profile also places less leverage on the mounting point than a long whip when travelling through corrugations, scrub or rough tracks.

Heavy Duty Spring & Fibreglass Radome

The antenna uses a fibreglass radome with a heavy duty stainless steel barrel style spring to help absorb movement and vibration. An ABS ferrule and gloss black finish complete the low profile design, making it a good match for modern black bull bars and antenna mounts.

Ground Independent

The ATX970XS is ground independent, so its performance does not rely on being installed through a large conductive vehicle body panel. This gives you more flexibility when mounting it to bull bars, brackets and other common touring vehicle locations.

As with any UHF antenna, positioning still matters. Keeping the antenna as clear as practical from large metal structures and other obstructions can help achieve better performance.

4.5m Low Loss Coax Cable

The antenna is supplied with 4.5 metres of low loss coaxial cable, providing plenty of length for routing from the mounting point back to the UHF radio in most 4WD installations.

The cable is terminated with an FME female connector, which makes routing through smaller firewall openings and cable passages easier than trying to feed a full size PL259 connector through the vehicle. A PL259 adaptor is included for connection to compatible UHF CB radios.

Installation Note

The ATX970XS uses an 8mm mounting thread and should be installed to a suitably strong antenna bracket. The supplied coax cable should be routed away from sharp edges, excessive heat and moving components. Avoid tightly coiling excess coax or placing unnecessary strain on the connector.
