Laird Y8063 806-896 MHz Yagi Antenna
The Laird Y8063 is a gold-anodised, fully welded directional antenna built for the 806 to 896 MHz band. It uses a three-element Yagi design to deliver 6 dBd gain with a maximum input power of 300 watts. The antenna terminates in an N female connector and ships with stainless steel U-bolt mounting hardware. Its internal matching network is designed to resist icing, detuning and corrosion.
Installers cleaning up noisy 800 MHz signals
This antenna suits technicians who need a narrow-beam, high-gain solution for point-to-point links in the 806-896 MHz range. The 72-degree horizontal and 57-degree vertical beamwidths focus energy forward, so it is not suited for omnidirectional coverage or mobile applications. Buyers requiring operation outside this specific frequency band or a different connector type should look at other models.
Straightforward mast mounting with included U-bolts
The stainless steel U-bolts attach the 16.75-inch boom to a mast without special tools, and the centre-fed N female connector simplifies cable routing. The DC-ground lightning protection and sealed matching section reduce weather-related detuning, but the 1.5 lb weight and 125 mph wind rating demand a secure mast and proper torque on the U-bolts to prevent movement in high winds.

Questions about this item
What coaxial cable and connector do I need to connect this Y8063 antenna to my radio?
The antenna terminates in an N female connector, so you will need a coaxial cable with an N male plug on the antenna end and the appropriate connector for your radio on the other end.
Will the 16.75 in Y8063 fit on the same mast as my existing VHF antenna without interference?
The Y8063 uses U-bolts for mounting and has a vertical beamwidth of 57 deg and horizontal beamwidth of 72 deg; ensure sufficient vertical spacing from other antennas to avoid pattern distortion.
How can I verify the Y8063 is performing correctly after installation?
Check that the VSWR at your operating frequency is at or below 1.5 : 1 and that the DC ground path shows continuity, confirming the internal matching and lightning protection are intact.
