Main Features
The LXMA-896-100-SLM mobile antenna is engineered by Maniron to provide a reliable communication link in the 800/900MHz bands. Unlike standard low-gain stubs, this antenna offers a 5.5dBi gain, significantly extending the effective range of vehicular transceivers. Its 35cm length strikes a perfect balance between RF performance and physical clearance, making it suitable for a wide variety of vehicles from sedans to heavy-duty trucks.
The antenna is constructed with high-quality materials to ensure stable 50-ohm impedance and low VSWR across the 70MHz bandwidth. The SL16 UHF Male connector (commonly known as PL259) provides a rugged and widely compatible interface for standard mobile radio cabling. When paired with a magnetic mount like the M70, it allows for a “no-drill” installation that can be easily moved between vehicles, making it an ideal solution for temporary deployments or multi-vehicle fleets.

Application Scenarios
- Public Safety & Two-Way Radio: Enhances signal reach for police, fire, and emergency service mobile units in the 800MHz band.
- Fleet Logistics: Provides consistent data and voice links for trucking companies and delivery services using 900MHz networks.
- SCADA & Remote Telemetry: Mobile gateway antenna for field technicians monitoring remote industrial equipment.
- Amateur Radio: A durable option for radio enthusiasts operating in the 33cm band (902-928MHz).
Product Q&A
- Q: What is an SL16 connector?
- A: SL16 is the technical designation for the commonly used UHF connector. The Male version is often called a PL259, which is the standard interface for most mobile radio and CB radio antenna cables.
- Q: Do I need to drill a hole in my car roof to install this?
- A: No. This antenna is specifically designed to match with magnetic mounts (like the M70). You simply screw the antenna onto the magnetic base, which then sticks to the metal surface of your vehicle.
- Q: Can I use this antenna for 4G or 5G?
- A: This antenna is optimized for the 806-960MHz range. While it covers some low-band cellular frequencies (like LTE Band 5 or 8), it is primarily intended for narrowband radio systems. For full 4G/5G support, we recommend our wideband MIMO mobile antennas.
- Q: Is the 35cm length flexible?
- A: The antenna whip is designed to be rigid enough to maintain its vertical polarization while driving at speed, but it possesses enough flexibility to withstand minor impacts from low-hanging branches or garage entries.
