The ground-independent design particularly benefits flat terrain communication by eliminating ground losses. Is the PRO7000 suitable for rough off-road conditions? Yes, the PRO7000's 55mm heavy-duty barrel spring and 25mm radome mast provide exceptional durability for severe off-road conditions. However, the 1.19-meter height makes it more susceptible to branch impacts in heavily timbered areas. For dense bush travel, consider shorter antennas like PRO70 (954mm).Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.
