Austin Suburban 203500 3-Band Amateur Base

The 3500 C SUBURBAN Base Station MULTI BAND Antenna operates on three bands (144/220/440) MHz w/SO-239 Connector - Amateur Bands) simultaneously. This is the ideal antenna for heavily loaded towers where space is at a premium, and separate antennas are not feasible. The antenna is ground independent (no ground radials required) and can mount easily, with its 1 3/8" diameter mounting tube, on standard TV masts, towers or roof brackets. All SUBURBANs are center fed half wave designs with decoupling techniques employed to assure maximum radiation at the horizon where it belongs. The SO-239 type connector is protected from the weather. The fiberglass radome presents a tough but aesthetically pleasing exterior that will stand up in any harsh environment and is light gray CPVC smooth finish UV resistant chlorinated polyvinyl chloride.

The Suburban is Austin Antenna's Amateur and Commercial Multiband Base Station Antenna

Radome
The Suburban is housed in a slim fiberglass radome. An aluminum base mounting section is provided for simple installation to mast or side mounting brackets [not supplied]. Mounting to the support mast can be accomplished with U-bolts or high quality stainless steel hose clamps (usually three works best). Be careful not to overlap the antenna with the support mast and don't over-tighten and crush the aluminum tube (replacement tubes available).

Performance

Customization
The Suburban can be modified on a custom basis to cover most special frequency requirements.
Recommendations
Use the highest quality coax cable you can afford to connect your antenna to your radio (minimum quality would be LMR-400 or equivalent). Use high quality silver plated connectors. You should consider having your cable made professionally if you are not skilled at assembling and soldering connectors. Use a string to run the distance first and add a few extra feet just in case. Keeping the cable as short as possible greatly improves performance. Often overlooked is antenna grounding. For lightning protection and safety be sure and run a heavy (#10 or #8) ground wire from the metal mounting bracket to a 6-8 foot ground rod using the shortest distance possible.
