This is a high-quality, 8-ft. 6dB fiberglass VHF antenna. A high-gloss urethane coating protects the antenna. Includes 20 ft. of low-loss RG-8X cable and PL-259 connector. 1"-14 female thread with chrome-plated brass ferrule.
I coupled this antenna with a Ray Marine VHF radio and I get clear reception and transmission from shore to shore on some of the biggest bodies of water out there. I highly recommend this antenna.
