Utilizing technology designed for military and commercial applications, BoatAntenna delivers our highly advanced 8' Wide Band VHF Antennas to the marine industry. These antennas provide tactical maritime users with a high performance solution for broadband VHF communications.
Featuring a tremendous bandwidth of 134 to 176 MHz, a nominal 6dB gain and the ability to withstand continuous RF power up to 150 watts, the new antennas facilitate high quality communications across a normally hard to cover band. An exclusive patent pending electrical design with internal ground plane allows the antenna to maintain a low radiation pattern, resulting in exceptional communication capability over a wide bandwidth.
Designed to meet the military’s rigorous MIL-STD-810 environmental engineering testing, as well as typical marine standards for high seas applications, the 992-MW and 992-MB antennas are built to endure environmentally harsh conditions. They are designed for use with a multitude of services including auxiliary civil services, 2-meter amateur radio band, VHF business band, multi-use radio service (MURS), 2-way land mobile, VHF marine radio, narrow band FM, VHF SATCOM, Automatic Identification System (AIS) and NOAA weather stations.
