Product Description
The Shakespeare Classic Series antennas offer reliable marine VHF communication with durable brass and copper element construction for standard range and reception. Each antenna uses chrome-plated brass or nylon ferrules with standard 1"-14 threads for easy mounting on standard bases. Finished in smooth, high-gloss white or black fiberglass to resist yellowing, these antennas maintain consistent performance with a VSWR of less than 1.5:1 at 156.8 MHz, operating across a 5 MHz bandwidth.
Equipped with 15 feet of marine-grade RG58 coaxial cable and PL-259 connectors, these single-section antennas are designed for easy installation. The 4-foot models provide 3 dB gain while the 8-foot models deliver an enhanced 6 dB gain for improved signal reception. The 4-foot antennas have no DC ground (continuity open), while the 8-foot antennas include a DC ground (continuity shorted). All models carry a 2-year warranty and are suitable for a wide variety of vessels seeking dependable marine VHF antenna solutions without compromising durability or value.
