We place all metal components into a dedicated salt fog chamber where they are exposed to a salt-based alkaline solution to test their resilience against corrosion.

This test is conducted on many of our products including our complete GMRS Radio and antenna range which may be used in coastal areas where they are likely to experience long term exposure to salt in both water and air.

Our Accelerated UV Chamber is used to expose products to different environmental forces including Ultraviolet Light and temperature cycling.

The Accelerated UV Chamber enables us to simulate the equivalent of months of UV Rays in a fraction of the time. This ensures that our products will maintain their quality appearance and finish, even after being exposed to the harsh sun for prolonged periods of time.

All antennas are placed on the platform of the Vibration & Shock tester, which vibrates and gyrates to simulate months of usage in only a matter of days.

We use this process to simulate the real-world conditions our antennas will face in harsh offroad conditions around the world, such as corrugations on dirt roads and the bumps and ruts of remote 4×4 trails.

Antennas are also placed on the whipping machine which ‘whips’ back and forth in an elliptical pattern.

This enables us to test the overall integrity of the mechanical design of each antenna and helps to improve the strength of our range to ensure they will handle the harshest conditions.

All IP-rated products are placed in the Ingress Protection (IP) Chambers where they are tested to international standards to ensure protection against dust and water ingress.

This testing ensures that our products will still be able to work as intended when they are exposed to dusty environments, submerged, or sprayed with water.
