## Description

The SPK-6E antenna is a small, very light weight GNSS/GPS L1/L2/5 triband helical antenna for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou constellations. Designed for aerial and portable applications, the SPK-6E weighs in at 18.1 grams with a standard SMA connector. The SPK-6E includes a small compressible o-ring around the base to increase weatherproofing when installed against an enclosure. This antenna is a good choice for applications where you have a clear view of the sky. If you can handle the extra weight, the [SPK6618H](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=21801) or [u-blox ANN-MB-00](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=15192) will have better reception performance.

Designed for the latest GNSS platforms, it provides a fast, easy, and reliable multi-band antenna solution but can be used with any GPS/GNSS receiver that can benefit from the L1/L2/L5 triple reception. While this antenna works great with normal L1 GPS/GNSS receivers it will not make your $20 receiver into a $300 receiver. Please check your receiver to verify it is capable of using the L1, L2, and/or L5 signals that this antenna is capable of receiving.
