Harris Race Radios UHF Hi-Gain Motorsport Aerial — Ground Plane Independent | NZ & AU

Harris Race Radios has engineered a UHF hi-gain aerial specifically for motorsport digital radios — widely regarded as the best-performing antenna for vehicles with carbon fibre, fibreglass, and steel roofs.

This antenna is ground plane independent, eliminating the need for a traditional ground plane. As a dipole with its own integrated ground plane, it delivers consistent, reliable performance regardless of the vehicle's roof material — no compromises, no workarounds.

Ideal for all forms of motorsport and off-road racing. Compatible with all radios including Motorola, Rugged Radios, and more. Supports remote mounting.

Note: If you have excess coax, run it in a wide loop — do not tightly coil it.

Optional Connectors Available

UHF, VHF, BNC, Mini UHF, N type, SMA — if you can't see what you need, just ask.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this aerial work on a carbon fibre roof?
Yes — it is specifically designed to be ground plane independent, making it the ideal choice for carbon fibre, fibreglass, and composite roofs where traditional antennas underperform.

What radios is this compatible with?
Compatible with all UHF digital motorsport radios including Motorola, Rugged Radios, and other brands. If you're unsure, contact us and we'll confirm compatibility.

Can I get a different connector type?
Yes — we offer UHF, VHF, BNC, Mini UHF, N type, and SMA connectors. If you need something not listed, just ask.

Does it support remote mounting?
Yes — this aerial supports remote mounting, making it suitable for a wide range of vehicle and cage configurations.

What if I have excess coax cable?
Run excess coax in a wide loop — never tightly coil it, as this creates inductance that degrades signal performance.
