The RT-AN-BU1 antenna is typically not used as the primary antenna in a GPS tracking system. Because it is very directional, it is very good as the antenna in a radio link used in your system.
It is a good antenna to use at the base site, when the base must be able to hear a remote repeater. If your base antenna needs omni-directional coverage, then this is not the right antenna to use.

Base station antenna are at the heart of your GPS tracking system. It is vital they work well, and a great antenna will improve your the radio coverage of your system.
An important rule of radio system design is: put the best antenna you can afford at your base station and at your repeater sites. A good base station antenna is:
- Rugged
- Reliable
- Weather resistant
- Improved gain
- UV protected
Raveon offers a variety of base station antennas for your GPS tracking system, varying in gain and frequency band.
