The Shakespeare 5241 3' VHF Antenna is a compact marine antenna designed for reliable VHF Marine Band communication. This 3-foot, end-fed 1/2-wave antenna features a heavy-duty stainless steel whip, providing stability for vessels operating at higher speeds. Its low-profile design and 3 dB gain make it suitable for installations where space is a primary consideration, such as on bass boats or center console fishing boats. The antenna incorporates a chrome-plated brass canister to mitigate de-tuning and a sealed, tin-plated copper wire coil for consistent performance. It operates within a 7 MHz bandwidth and has an SWR of 1.5:1 at 156.8 MHz. The 5241-R antenna includes 15 feet of RG-58 cable with a PL-259 connector and requires a mount with a center hole for cable passage. It supports a maximum input of 50 watts and offers omni-directional, vertical polarization.
