    Northwind 8 ft VHF Antenna with Stainless Ratchet Mount

    COM-ELE-01034
    8-foot 6 dB fibreglass VHF antenna with stainless ratchet mount and coax
    25 In stock

    Overview

    Radio range is line of sight, and line of sight is height and gain, which is why the serious VHF antenna is eight feet of fibreglass and not a stubby whip. This 6 dB collinear puts your distress call and your bridge-to-bridge traffic over the horizon to the practical limit of the band, from a tuned brass-and-copper element sealed inside a UV-stable fibreglass whip that will not craze or go soft. The polished 316 stainless ratchet mount lays the antenna flat for the boathouse and locks it upright at sea through detented stops, and the pre-installed coax is the low-loss cable the gain deserves rather than the thin lead that wastes it. The one piece of equipment you hope never to need at its full range, sized so it is there when you do.
