Key Benefits & Main Features
* Optimized for Marine Environments: Built to withstand the harshest conditions at sea, the antenna features a robust fibreglass whip. This construction ensures exceptional resistance to physical stress, constant vibration, and the corrosive effects of salt spray, guaranteeing long-lasting performance and structural integrity.
* Superior Signal Reception and Transmission: With an average gain of 3dB, the RA106 significantly boosts your VHF radio´s effective range. This enhancement allows for clearer, more reliable voice communication over greater distances, a critical factor for both routine contact with marinas and ports, and for crucial safety communications in an emergency.
* Long-Lasting Protection and Finish: The RA106GRPSB25 is a VHF antenna designed for sailboats with a fibreglass rod which takes advantage of white polyurethane paint, assuring a total protection of the antenn´s inside copper components. It´s equipped with a 25m coaxial cable, a stainless steel bracket, a feed-thru, a Glomex “RA106 solderless” special connector, waterproof and solderless and the threaded protection. The brilliant white finish is resistant to yellowing from UV exposure, maintaining the clean aesthetic of your vessel for years to come.
* High-Efficiency Performance: Engineered with a low SWR (≤ 1.3 at 156.8 Mhz), this antenna ensures that maximum power from your transceiver is converted into radiated signal, not lost as heat. This efficiency is key to achieving the best possible communication range and clarity from your VHF radio system.
