Midland PRO7050-MAST - 5.2dBi UHF CB Replacement Antenna Whip for PRO7050
Product Overview
The Midland PRO7050-MAST is a genuine replacement antenna whip designed specifically for the Midland PRO7050 UHF antenna system. This compact 697mm tapered 25mm heavy-duty fiberglass radome nplmast delivers the same 5.2dBi high-gain performance as the original PRO7050 whip, engineered to withstand harsh Australian outback conditions. The replacement whip features UV-stable fiberglass construction with pre-tuned 477MHz optimization for Australian UHF CB channels, providing cost-effective antenna restoration without replacing the entire cable assembly, spring, or mounting hardware. When the original PRO7050 whip sustains damage from branch impacts, extreme weather, or accidental breakage, this replacement mast restores full antenna performance quickly. The tapered radome design protects the internal radiating element while maintaining optimal signal transmission and reception characteristics identical to factory-original specifications, ensuring continued reliable professional-grade communication for daily-driver vehicles, urban-rural mixed operations, and height-restricted parking applications.

Installation Notes
The Midland PRO7050-MAST replacement whip threads directly onto the existing PRO7050 barrel spring assembly. Remove the damaged original whip by unthreading it from the spring connection. Clean the barrel spring threads to ensure proper contact. Thread the PRO7050-MAST replacement whip onto the barrel spring, tightening firmly by hand until secure. Do not use tools that could over-tighten and damage the connection threads. Verify the whip sits vertically aligned when tightened. The replacement whip maintains identical electrical specifications to the original, requiring no re-tuning or VSWR adjustment after installation. The pre-tuned 477MHz optimization ensures immediate operational capability across all Australian UHF CB channels. Inspect the barrel spring for damage during whip replacement and replace if spring shows deformation or cracking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this compatible with the complete PRO7050 antenna?
Yes, the PRO7050-MAST is the genuine replacement whip designed specifically for the Midland PRO7050 antenna system. It threads directly onto the PRO7050 barrel spring assembly and maintains identical electrical performance to the original whip. This replacement is ONLY compatible with PRO7050 antennas, not other Midland antenna models including PRO7000, PRO6000, or PRO70.
Does this include the cable and spring?
No, the PRO7050-MAST is the replacement whip/mast only. It does NOT include coaxial cable, barrel spring, mounting hardware, or connectors. This is designed as a cost-effective replacement for damaged whips when your existing PRO7050 cable assembly and spring remain functional.
Will I need to re-tune the antenna after replacement?
No, the PRO7050-MAST is pre-tuned for 477MHz Australian UHF CB frequency identical to the original whip. Simply thread the replacement whip onto your existing barrel spring assembly and the antenna maintains optimal performance across all 80 UHF CB channels without requiring re-tuning or VSWR adjustment.
How do I know if I need just the whip or the complete antenna?
If your PRO7050 whip is damaged (broken, bent, or cracked radome) but your coaxial cable and barrel spring remain functional, purchase the PRO7050-MAST replacement whip. If your cable is damaged, connectors are corroded, or spring is deformed, purchase the complete PRO7050 antenna assembly.
Is the replacement whip as durable as the original?
Yes, the PRO7050-MAST features identical 25mm tapered heavy-duty fiberglass radome construction with UV-stable materials as the original PRO7050 whip. The replacement maintains the same durability and performance characteristics designed for harsh Australian outback conditions, branch impacts, and extreme weather exposure.
