Oricom ANU806AT 2-in-1 All-Terrain UHF CB Antenna for Low/High Gain (3dBi/6.5dBi)

Versatile dual-gain antenna system adapts to terrain for optimized communication performance

The Oricom ANU806AT All-Terrain UHF CB Antenna Pack delivers exceptional versatility through a two-in-one design that adapts to varying terrain conditions. This innovative system provides a 3dBi gain antenna with spring base (665mm) for built-up or mountainous areas where shorter antennas and omnidirectional patterns excel, plus a swappable 600mm fiberglass pole that converts the system to 6.5dBi gain (1040mm total) for flat terrain where increased range and focused radiation patterns maximize distance communications.

The heavy-duty barrel spring base absorbs offroad impacts while the detachable pole design enables quick configuration changes without tools. Switch between 3dBi mode for urban convoy navigation, mountain tracks, or tree-lined trails, then swap to 6.5dBi mode for desert crossings, salt lake traverses, or open plains touring. Complete with 4.5-metre low-loss coaxial cable, pre-terminated FME connector, and PL259 adaptor, the ANU806AT provides everything needed for adaptable installation across varying Australian landscapes.

The black powder-coated finish protects against corrosion while integrating cleanly with modern vehicle aesthetics. Whether navigating diverse terrain on multi-day expeditions or optimizing communications for specific regional conditions, this dual-gain system eliminates the need to purchase separate antennas for different environments.

Features & Benefits

Dual-Gain Versatility — Switch between 3dBi and 6.5dBi configurations to match terrain conditions, optimizing communication performance without purchasing separate antenna systems for different environments.

3dBi Mode for Complex Terrain — Shorter 665mm configuration provides omnidirectional pattern ideal for built-up areas, mountainous regions, forested tracks, and undulating terrain where vertical signal coverage matters.

6.5dBi Mode for Open Country — Extended 1040mm configuration focuses signal energy horizontally for increased range across flat terrain including deserts, plains, salt lakes, and coastal flats.

Swappable Pole Design — Tool-free pole exchange enables quick configuration changes at camp, allowing antenna optimization as terrain changes during multi-day expeditions or regional travel.

Heavy-Duty Barrel Spring Base — Absorbs impacts from branches, obstacles, and offroad terrain in both configurations, protecting the antenna system under demanding conditions.

Complete Dual-Pole Package — Includes both 3dBi short pole and 600mm extension pole, eliminating the need to purchase additional antennas or components for terrain-specific optimization.

Fiberglass Construction — Non-conductive fiberglass poles provide flexibility and impact resistance while maintaining signal integrity across both gain configurations.

Extended Range Capability — 6.5dBi mode significantly increases communication distances on open terrain, critical for remote area touring where station spacing exceeds typical 3dBi range.

Compact Storage Option — 3dBi configuration reduces overall height for garage clearance, car wash access, or urban driving when extended range isn't required.

Three-Year Warranty — Extended warranty coverage protects both antenna poles and base components, reflecting manufacturer confidence in all-terrain durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use 3dBi mode versus 6.5dBi mode?

Use 3dBi (short pole) in built-up areas, mountains, forests, or undulating terrain where omnidirectional coverage matters. Use 6.5dBi (extended pole) on flat open terrain like deserts, plains, or coastal areas where increased horizontal range is beneficial.

Can I swap between poles while on the trail?

Yes, the detachable pole design allows tool-free swapping between configurations at camp or roadside stops, enabling antenna optimization as terrain changes during your journey.

Will the 6.5dBi mode work poorly in mountains?

Higher-gain antennas focus signal energy horizontally with narrower vertical patterns, which can miss stations on steep grades or undulating terrain. The 3dBi mode provides better coverage in these conditions.

Does the package include both poles?

Yes, the ANU806AT includes the complete system: barrel spring base, 3dBi short pole, 600mm extension pole for 6.5dBi mode, 4.5m cable, and all connectors.

What mounting hardware do I need?

The antenna includes the barrel spring base but requires a vehicle-specific UHF antenna mount or bracket (sold separately) to attach the system to your bull bar, roof rack, or other mounting location.
