ELBA VHF Radio Antenna, GRP, black, 3 dB, 97 cm

The SUPERGAIN ELBA VHF marine antenna with a 97 cm long black GRP radiator has been designed for use on sailboats with dark superstructures or carbon masts and comes equipped with a black ALU mounting bracket and a 20 meter RG 58 coax cable. Gain: 3 dB.

Details:

• Frequency range: 156/162 Mhz
• Average gain: 6 dB
• Impedance: 50 Ohm
• Polarization: vertical
• SWR: ≤ 1.4 at 156.8 Mhz
• Max. input power: 50 W
• Length: 970 mm (38")
• Weight: 175 g (6.2 oz)
• Connection: 20 m RG58 coax cable, black, 5 mm Ø, without connector

Note:
The antenna is supplied without mounting screws, PL connector cable grommets or a deck gland. These parts are optionally available.

If you want to test the completed installation, measure a resistance of 10 kOhm on the connector between the center pin and the metal sleeve.
This is not a short circuit because you measure the coil (ie a wound wire) of a small "high-frequency transformer".

The 17.5 mm outer diameter of the antenna thread tappet does not fit into the 5/8 "to 1" -14 UNS adapter (74432).
