The Digital Antenna 528-VW is a 4-foot VHF antenna designed for marine communication applications. This antenna is suitable for integration on T-tops, speedboats, and sailboats, providing 4.5dB gain for reliable signal transmission and reception. It features a high gloss urethane finish and a 316 stainless steel ferrule, contributing to its durability in marine environments. The internal construction includes powerful brass radiators and soldered connections, along with a power directing ferrite choke bead. For installation, the antenna utilizes a standard 1"-14 threaded base. The 500 GOLD Series connector system simplifies setup, featuring a gold factory-attached mini-UHF female connector and a supplied mini-UHF male to UHF male (PL259) adapter. This eliminates the need for soldering during radio connection. A 15-foot length of Digital Antenna's low-loss, tinned braid, foil shielded, UV stable RG-8X marine cable is included, making this a complete solution for new installations or replacements where a compact, high-performance VHF antenna is required.
