Finding replacement antennas for Modulus 2000 video transmitter equipment

17 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • Original rubber duck antennas for the Modulus 2000 can degrade over time as the rubber material deteriorates.
  • Custom-cut antennas tuned to specific frequency blocks are available as replacements and may offer better performance than original equipment.
  • Proper antenna tuning requires specialized test equipment such as an 80K spectrum analyzer.
  • Simple whip antennas can be custom manufactured and cut to the operating frequency for this equipment.
  • Original CIT antennas are available but considered mediocre performance options.

Depends on

  • The thread does not specify which frequency blocks or exact frequencies the Modulus 2000 operates on.
  • No performance comparison data is provided between the rubber duck antennas and custom alternatives.
  • Limited information about antenna durability or longevity under operational conditions.
  • The mention of a Modulus 5000 variant indicates the equipment line existed but field experience with newer models was minimal at the time of discussion.
