Scan Antenna VHF73 Professional 3 dB Fiberglass VHF Marine Antenna
VHF73 VHF Marine Antenna is a high-quality, center-fed coaxial dipole antenna designed specifically for the maritime environment. Built to withstand the harshest conditions at sea, it provides reliable long-range communication for professional and leisure vessels alike. Unlike shorter 1-meter antennas, the 1.26m length of the VHF73 allows for a more efficient radiator, striking the perfect balance between height and stability. It is short enough to avoid excessive whipping in high winds but long enough to clear most cabin obstructions.
