Shakespeare 4' Centennial VHF Antenna, White

Exceleente

Bought this antenna to replace an 8ft one that I busted on a low bridge. It works great and while the range isn't as good as the 8ft obviously I can still get 2-3 miles non line of sight with it and the low output setting on a standard horizon marine radio (the guy I bought the boat from used it on the great lakes, I use it on the mississippi river so we're never that far from a marina/land/other boats). \The only pitfall is the connector isn't attached (while aggravating its a good thing because you can fish the antenna wire through much smaller openings in your boat). I used a Shakespeare PL-259-CP-G Marine Center Pin Connector which only requires a pair of pliers to crimp onto the cable end rather than the enclosed one which requires cable stripping, soldering etc.Overall works great and would purchase again.

I got this to replace a longer one I had on my boat. I wanted a shorter one so I could pass under local bridges without waiting for bridge openings. Lowering the taller antenna resulted in a loss of reception. I needed a powerful short antenna. In other reviews, people have mentioned the are hard to install because you need to solder the end piece on. It is actually an easy job for anyone that has soldered in the past. There are several Youtube videos that show the process of stripping the coax cable an installing the end piece. I would definitely buy again.

Good signal. Worked well. Make sure connection is sanded down well once you solder the piece onto the tip that you screw into the back of the radio.

Needed to replace one that I broke. Amazon was the cheapest however shipping was slow. Product it self is good and so far seems to be working as it should. Follow the directions and connecting it will be easy.

The Shakespeare 5104 4' Centennial VHF Antenna is elegant and practical. The cable is hard wired to the antenna, but there's some work (soldering) involved to attach the PL-259 connector (included) to the cable. I purchased a PL-259-CP-G connector to avoid soldering. My mechanic preferred soldering because the connection is cleaner and it works like a charm. Good value, just need to get over the PL connector challenge.

This antenna was very easy to install, the instructions were great and now I feel much safer on the water. I attached this antenna wire to the old one where the antenna mounts to the boat and just pulled the wire straight through, attached the included connector and connected it to my radio, install was probably 30 minutes.

Great accessory to my boat. Easy application
