RTS ALP-700 Bi-directional Log Periodic Antenna 450-760 MHz / 4 dBi / TNC

Description

The ALP-700 is a bi-directional log periodic UHF base station antenna designed to improve reception across a wide UHF band. It covers 450-760 MHz and provides directional gain to extend effective receive range. The antenna is compact and lightweight for easy placement in base station environments.

The antenna features a log periodic element array that delivers consistent performance across a broad frequency range. With a maximum gain of 1.8 dBd (4 dBi), the ALP-700 improves signal acquisition compared to standard whip antennas. The bi-directional pattern helps cover two opposing sectors without additional hardware.

Technically the ALP-700 operates from 450 MHz to 760 MHz and presents a TNC connector for reliable RF connection. Physical dimensions are 10.81 x 16.61 inches (274.6 x 421.9 mm) and the unit weighs approximately 0.65 lbs. The broadband design supports stable reception across the full UHF band within the specified frequency range.

Connectivity is delivered via a TNC connector that mates with common coaxial feedlines used in professional audio and broadcast systems. The antenna is compatible with receivers and base stations that accept standard TNC-terminated coaxial input. Its broadband nature eliminates the need for frequent retuning when operating across multiple channels.

The ALP-700 is well suited to applications that require extended receive range and improved signal stability, such as ENG pickup points, small broadcast facilities, and wireless microphone base stations. It provides a practical antenna solution where space and weight constraints favor compact, high-gain elements. The bi-directional pattern is useful when signals are expected from two primary directions.

Installation is straightforward thanks to the antenna’s modest size and low weight – it can be mounted on common stands or brackets. The construction is robust for indoor or sheltered outdoor use and the broadband elements resist detuning across the stated frequency band. Overall the ALP-700 offers a balance of gain, bandwidth, and compact form factor for UHF reception needs.
