The 10 dBi gain and omni-directional pattern extend your communication range while maintaining dependable coverage in every direction—ideal for coordinating crew, safety calls, and navigation across open water, busy harbors, and docking areas. The rugged construction uses brass radiators soldered for durability, a 316 stainless steel ferrule, and a white UV-stable coating to resist sun and salt exposure. The gold factory-attached mini-UHF connector simplifies installation by eliminating soldering, and the standard 1"–14 base keeps mounting straightforward on most vessels. Designed and built in the USA, this antenna is assembled, tested, and hand-tuned to ensure peak performance when it matters most.
