The 5400-XT Little Giant is a heavy-duty, compact 4-ft. VHF antenna
with brass and copper elements. Stainless steel ferrule with standard 1"-14
threads. Antenna includes 20-ft. RG-8X cable and PL-259 connector. 50w max.
output. Colors: Black
or White.
Easy install with a little soldering. Seems to have a good range for the river running we do. Stout. Needs very little space and doesnt hang on trees/ sweepers. No problems so far.
I'M VERY PLEASED WITH MY PURCHASE OF THE #5400XT VHF RADIO ANTENNA BY SHAKESPEARE. I DUCK HUNT ON THE BACKWATER OF LAKE BARKLEY IN KENTUCKY. IN THE WINTER TIME THERE ISN'T MUCH BOAT TRAFFIC ON THE RIVER AND SO I WANTED A RELIABLE VHF RADIO AND ANTENNA IN CASE I RAN INTO BOAT TROUBLE. THE #5400 LITTLE GIANT LIVES UP TO ITS NAME ...THE RECEPTION IS CLEAR AND THE 4' LENGTH DOESN'T INTERFERE WITH MY HUNTING OR FISHING ACTIVITIES.
A great compact, good looking, performance antenna

I looked hard for the perfect antenna both in looks and performance for my new 18' aluminum fishing boat. I purchased the Black Shakespeare 5400-XT and was not disapointed. The antenna is unsurpassed in both being rugged and performing well for its compact size. Well worth consideration.
