Overview
Shakespeare® HP-LP3512/VRC is a compact, broadband VHF/UHF antenna engineered for reliable military and tactical communications across the 30–512 MHz frequency range. Engineered with Shakespeare’s patented broadband technology, this antenna provides gain comparable to the legacy AS-3900A/VRC. It provides expanded coverage for EPLRS, public safety, and commercial interoperability frequencies. Designed for high-power, multi-radio applications, the HP-LP3512/VRC supports up to 200 W RF power and offers compatibility with multiple radios using existing combiner multiplexers, without requiring tuning or operator intervention. An optional diplexer enables dual-feed operation for enhanced communication flexibility. Its compact, low-profile design reduces vertical signature while maintaining dependable performance in demanding tactical environments.
HP-LP3512/VRC meets or exceed MIL-STD-810, as well as survival in even the harshest mechnical test, the Oak Beam Impact Test.
