Its lightweight, low-profile construction makes it an ideal choice for sailboats and other vessels where space and weight are critical considerations. The antenna features a durable stainless steel body and whip, ensuring longevity and resistance to harsh marine environments. The end-fed, half-wave design is optimized for VHF frequencies, providing reliable communication with a gain of 3 dB and a typical SWR of 1.5:1 at 156.8 MHz. The hermetically sealed, tin-plated copper coil enhances durability and signal integrity, while the stainless steel L bracket allows for easy mast mounting. The antenna's omni-directional radiation pattern ensures consistent signal coverage around the vessel, making it suitable for various marine situations. The SO-239 connector allows for versatile cable connections, with the cable sold separately. The Shakespeare 5215 is backed by a two-year limited warranty, reflecting its quality and durability for marine use. This antenna is designed to handle up to 50 watts of power, making it suitable for most marine communication needs while maintaining excellent performance across the VHF band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLength: 3 feet for optimal marine communication range\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Stainless steel body and whip for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDesign: End-fed, half-wave for efficient VHF band operation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMounting: Supplied stainless steel L bracket for mast installation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eConnector: SO-239 for versatile cable connections (cable sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFrequency: VHF marine band with a bandwidth of 7 MHz\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eImpedance: 50 ohms for compatibility with marine radio systems\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eGain: 3 dB to enhance signal strength\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePower Handling: Up to 50 watts for reliable performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRadiation Pattern: Omni-directional for consistent signal coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Shakespeare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44529641291818,"sku":"10631","price":68.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/2285\/8794\/files\/10631XL.jpg?v=1783077123","url":"https:\/\/atticusgoods.com\/products\/shakespeare-5215-3-stainless-steel-marine-vhf-antenna-for-masthead-mounting","provider":"Atticus Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
