Shakespeare VHF Radio Antenna Classic Whip 5250
Shakespeare5250-AIS Skinny Mini Stainless Steel Whip.
This compact, lightweight antenna is ideal for vessels where space is limited as this is 3ft in length with 3db gain. Its chrome plated brass canister minimizes de-tuning. Cable and PL-259 connector included.
AIS transceivers are great when navigating the seas with boat traffic in busy shipping lanes but sometimes adding an additional antenna can be challenging if space is limited with various electronics and cables. That is why Shakespeare's AIS antenna reliably handles broader AIS bandwidth requirements in a low-profile design that's easy to mount. Compact, durable and lightweight, the AIS Antenna is a 91 cm stainless steel whip antenna. Its tin-plated, copper wire coil is housed in a sealed, chrome-plated brass canister that minimizes troublesome de-tuning associated with plastic canisters.
