The five-foot-high WBC3924 is a dual-band antenna designed for use with tactical radios working in the VHF and UHF bands, according to a company news release. It can also be installed on fixed installations. The system comprises both a monopole antenna for low bands up to 108 MHz, and a dipole antenna for high bands up to 512 MHz.
