The 5' VHF Inflatable Emergency Antenna is a revolutionary safety device designed for quick deployment in emergency situations. With its innovative inflatable design, this antenna can be effortlessly activated using a CO2 cartridge or a manual inflation tube, inflating to a full height of 5 ft (1.6 m). It boasts a powerful 3dB gain, offering a communication range up to three times greater than traditional helical emergency antennas.
When not in use, the antenna can be deflated and easily stored in its included high-visibility storage bag. Installation is hassle-free with hook and loop straps, allowing it to be securely mounted to stanchions, outriggers, or any vertical structure on your boat. Additionally, the antenna includes grommets at both the top and bottom for versatile mounting options, making it suitable for hanging on spreaders, masts, and more.
