A Military Antenna Is Desired In The Private Sector

By Claudine Hodges


Experts all over the world have been testing and developing new and more accurate communication and data systems. While the Department of Defense is primarily concerned with war-time applications, there are many civilian uses for new technologies, such as the modern military antenna. Government has a number of merchants who represent them in the private sector.

For private aircraft or helicopters, the portable VHF/GPS is ideal. Carrying VHF frequencies up to 137 MHz, and being made to fit a 26.5 dB gain GPS panel mount, means it can be utilized on a variety of craft including helicopters and gliders. Those who travel the world on a yacht caught up to the necessity of GPS technology right away.

Many businesses require a home-base style of equipment, and this can be utilized with the UHF/DECT. Drivers of all varieties, from taxi cabs to tractor trailers running locally have utilized this technology in order to maintain communication. Keeping constant tabs on those who work behind the wheel helps to keep everyone safe.

For the daily household application, a UHF/W-LAN is the perfect item of technological equipment that the whole family can use. These antennas can keep the whole family connected through wifi signals that make cell phones and computers all part of the household communication program. The old-fashioned dinner bell has gone digital.

It is a sad fact that most of our modern conveniences have been developed during war times throughout history. It is during these periods that research and development are most funded, thus seeing an increase in advancements. World War II certainly saw more than a fair share of progress in the areas of medicine, automobiles, and the development of our current modern infrastructure, such as the Dwight D. Eisenhower Interstate Highway System.

Previously used items such as old tackle and gun-metal boxes are always available at surplus stores all over. Whether purchasing for a recently returned Veteran, or for an old Sailor, this is one location where this type of technology can be found. It is not difficult to find more up-to-date tools for less when shopping the Army Surplus Store for computer equipment.

Much of the newer equipment is truly built to last, as it had to endure the harsh conditions of the Arabian desert. Many improvements were developed during the years before the first and second Gulf Wars. Anyone old enough to remember the first war, Desert Storm, knows how many problems arose due to the infiltration of fine particles of sand and dust getting into both mechanical and electronic tools.

No matter who you are buying for, be it the World War Vet or the son of the Gulf War soldier, do not forget that some of the best tech can be purchased from an Armed Services vendor. Taking a little time to visit your local Army/Navy surplus store is not only a smart idea, but fun for the whole family as well. The modern surplus retailer has a new look and a completely new set of tools available both for the public and the corporate sectors.
