Vest Mounted Antenna System (VMAS) TNC 90°
The VMAS TNC 90°, designed and made in the USA, revolutionizes intra-squad communications (30-512 MHz) by offering a body-worn antenna solution optimized for handheld radios. This system enhances operational mobility by running from the handheld radio, over the shoulder, and threading into the webbing on the communicator’s back, without compromising visibility or movement.
Durability and Compliance
Featuring an abraded sleeve for cut and abrasion resistance, the VMAS materials also meet UL and CSA flame-resistant ratings of VW-1 and adhere to the Berry Amendment. This ensures both safety and longevity under rigorous conditions.
Tactical Efficiency
Offering significant advantages over traditional long whip antennas, the VMAS TNC 90° improves tactical concealment and maintains communication link performance. Its design, marked by unsurpassed range and construction quality, positions it as the antenna of choice for VHF/UHF tactical radio operators.
