Technical Specification Summary:

  • SWR is less than 1.2:1
  • ½ wavelength (3dBi gain, ideal for mast head applications)
  • Frequency range 156 – 163 MHz

  • Weighs 8 ounces (225 grams)

This is a very high quality stainless steel marine antenna. It is ideal for masthead mounting due to low weight, stainless construction and UV resistance. This antenna is also suitable for deck level mounting where it will outperform a typical 54 inch fibreglass antenna.

The 34 inch (0.87m) 17-7ph stainless steel whip and body are durable, resistant to bird strikes and don't suffer the rapid degradation that can occur with fibreglass antennas.

It comes with the main body, the whip antenna, a nickel plated support bracket, lifetime warranty on the antenna coil and an SO-239 connector.
