Frequently Asked Questions
What is a phantom-style antenna?
A phantom antenna uses a short, enclosed cylindrical housing that conceals the internal radiating element. At 3.25 inches, it provides a much lower profile than a standard whip antenna, making it ideal for discreet vehicle installations where aesthetics or snag risk are a concern.
Does this antenna require a specific mount?
Yes. The BR-2445 uses a standard NMO mount, which must be purchased and installed separately. NMO mounts are widely available for trunk lip, roof, and through-hole vehicle installations.
Is a ground plane required?
Yes. Like all NMO mobile antennas, the BR-2445 requires a metal ground plane — typically the vehicle’s roof or trunk lid — for proper RF performance. Performance will be degraded without an adequate ground plane.
