Being a farmer and quite a distance from town mobile phone service has always been problematic. My biggest problem is that the farm house is in a valley and so we get no signal. After talking to Greg he suggested a remote mounted a Cellfi-GO repeater on the hill overlooking our valley about 500 metres away. This setup is a closed box mounted arrangement with a battery and solar cell with one antenna receiving the cell signal and a beam antenna aiming the received signal output into the valley towards the farm house. On our outside shed we have another beam antenna pointing up the hill at the repeater with a direct short coax connection to another vertical antenna. The shed setup acts as a ‘passive repeater’ so it doesn’t need any power and we now have 3 bars of phone signal in the house and all around for about 100 mtrs. What a great solution and Greg supplied it all as a ‘plug & play’ kit so it was easy to instal. But the best was that the whole works cost less than $2K for a really excellent result.
I contacted Greg regarding problems with the AMFM radio in my Toyota Prado and the solution was to fit an external antenna to the vehicle. Since fitting the radio has been perfect, and all the annoying noise has been eliminated.
I first got it to radio in 1988 and my first antenna was for my bass station was a Mobileone 27mhz station master that I have to this day and I was that impressed with it . Three years later I brought a 27mhz DX270sam super spring skip whip at I am still using to this day on my fwd on the bulbar it has been on 5 fwd . Over The last 31 years of off roading in the victorian high country and talking all over Australia and NZ I can not get over the quality and how they have lasted the longer than all the radios ive had to replace over the years. I have a lot of friends over the years buy Mobileone antennas for their vehicles from my recommendation and are just as happy as what I am to this day. In the last 20 years I have got into 477mhz radios and antennas from other manufacturer’s that don’t cut it and are just rubbish and break going down the road so Im now using a Mobileone CP476SB sam2s heavy duty base on my bull bar and cannot get over the range and quality of the audio and reception . I have recently purchased two more antennas from Greg at Mobileone. In my opinion you cannot get better than Mobileone antennas and value for money quality workmanship and customer service than you do from Greg and Australian made. I can now see how he has sold over15,000,000.00 antennas worldwide over the years .
G’day, thank you for the AIRKIT Dipole Airband antenna system fitted to my Trike aircraft- it’s that good I can hear Sydney Tower from the blue mountains like his is sitting beside me.
Just received the DX540RW Monster Stick antenna and parts. Looks like a great product .Fast service extremely well packed, very pleased. Well done highly recommend Mobileone. Thanks again.
I have brought the following from Mobileone.
A small whip antenna for my uniden scanner, custom made for 410 to 430 mhz and a Ground Plane Base Station kit custom tuned for 410 to 430 MHz, with 10 metres of cable with all the correct fittings connected including several adaptor fittings.
All the above equipment is of great quality and have improved reception by 100%. I have dealt with several antenna companies over the last 30 years and I have found Greg’s service to be above and beyond all others. Greg is always willing to take phone calls and answer any questions I may have. He can identify any fittings by photo and can tell you exactly what you need and I have received items ordered promptly within 3 days
I can highly recommend Mobileone antennas.
I’m just so sick of low quality Chinese rubbish being used for amateur radio. Incorrect threads, stainless that “rusts” in 3 months (i.e. it’s not stainless) and damage to my radio connectors. I’m sick if poor quality that adds to RF losses, setup problems and restricting good radio contacts.
It’s great to see an Aussie company making great antennas, using quality materials that work first time. Greg gets to the point, helps with the right selection and then has product it in your hands in 1-2 days. Now that's a top service. And when it arrived, it was packaged well and worked first time.
All the screws fitted with precision and I had my 80 meter mobile setup ready quickly. The best part is that I had to make some adjustments to the length of screw on the SAM base (mine was a custom setup) – I cut it to a shorter length and saw that inside the materials are still top quality.
The screws are all stainless as well – no shortcuts. So, if your tempted to buy cheap, just don't waste your time. Use Mobile One, support Australia and reap the signal benefits yourself.
"I Just got back from a 2 week trip through Queensland, out nearly to birdsville pub to charters towers back in and home to jimboomba. We had some sort of radio coverage just about every where we went and in the coastal areas more coverage than I've ever had before. Very happy with the WPM160 AM/FM kit unit as supplied”
“The performance of the CBD120 Airband Base Antenna is outstanding. My expectations have been totally exceeded. Crisp clear reception and I’m picking up ground based aircraft as well (which was a bit of a pipe dream initially). Couldn’t be happier”
"Was astounded when my mobile one CP476S a 1.5 metre UHF aerial on my 4x4 was clearer and picked up more channels than my GME base station aerial at 32ft high- just shows the quality and precision in the Mobileone products- would highly recommend"
Just wanted to say thank you to Greg for his help & advice recently when I purchased a 9 foot DX9AS stainless steel 27 Mhz whip & other radio accessories from Mobile One. I am extremely happy with the products & service. My antenna has a perfect SWR & is performing wonderfully. I appreciated him passing on his many years of knowledge & expertise in radio communication. I look forward to my next radio project, where I will definitely be in touch again with Mobileone.
I recently purchased a M160 AMFM radio antenna kit which Greatly improved my reception. Shout out to Greg for the quick service and great packaging of the antenna. I highly recommend Mobile Ones service and products.
Just back in communication range after 4 days camped up a mountain. We are currently touring Tassy and have subjected the M140 AM/FM aerial to both mountainous and coastal terrains. The set up is working just fine. I was still getting ’static’ after tightening the base grub screws on the BMS so decided to attach an earth lead to the aerial base and connect it directly to the chassis. Problem solved! I suspect the after market twin coats of a heavy polymer to the cars paintwork restricted the grub screw penetration to bare base metal. I had tightened the screws until the metal support structure was bending. Didn’t want to proceed to separation point! Anyway, more than happy with the aerial’s performance.
Hey Greg just wanted to say after a couple of weeks using my new SMASCAN antenna you made me I’m absolutely loving it, works a treat! The amount of stuff I am picking up is a huge improvement to the stock one!
"I can highly recommend Mobile One antennas for your communication needs. In my situation, I purchased an antenna for a handheld scanner device, and are very impressed with the quality of manufacture as well as for the overall gain in reception. Being Australian made was important to me, and with MobileOne's reputation, was a no-brainer in terms of a purchase decision. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a high-quality antenna across a wide range of applications".
