The HyperGain HGV-906U is a high performance omnidirectional antenna designed for the 800 MHz / 900 MHz ISM band. It is ideally suited for multipoint, Non Line of Sight (NLOS) and mobile applications where high gain and wide coverage is desired. Typical applications include 900MHz Wireless LAN, SCADA, Wireless Video Links and 800 MHz as well as 900MHz Cellular band applications.

This antenna features an integral N-Female bulkhead type connector that mounts through the wall of an equipment enclosure. Included with the HGV-906U is a mast mounting kit. Consisting of a heavy-duty steel bracket and a pair of U-bolts, this kit allows installation on masts up to 2.0" in diameter.

This omni antenna’s construction features a rugged 1.3" diameter white high intensity fiberglass radome for durability and aesthetics. It is designed for all weather operation.

Go for it!

Just don't forget to use low loss coaxial or even hardline if your install and budget allows.

What are you trying to receive with it? With that much gain local transmitters might overload the receiver. As far as the antenna its self, the specifications look good.

 

[eng645]

There are 3 Marc's towers that I can receive great with my current set up, and there are 2 that are hit and miss that I thought I could start listening to with a outside antenna set up.

NOTE: The gain is given as 6 dbi. That's not much gain at all for an outdoor antenna since the reference is to an "isotropic" antenna, not dbd (referenced to a dipole).

I have purchased this antenna. I'm doing some testing with it and it is working great. I can now hear the 2 distant marc's towers and they come in very clear and strong. I will continue to do some more testing before I mount it outside.

Any update on how this worked out for you? I'm looking to buy the same antenna on a 15 ft mast.
