Some of these are custom antennas developed for third-parties which are not available for sale.
Note: When an external antenna is attached to the VTAP50 reader, that new arrangement will require a corresponding tuning circuit and EMC approvals. Contact vtap‑support@dotorigin.com for details about tuning circuits and EMC approvals for the tested external antennas.
