Shakespeare QC8T 8' QuickConnect VHF Marine Antenna with Chrome Ferrule

The Shakespeare QC8T is an 8-foot QuickConnect VHF marine antenna featuring a revolutionary quick-disconnect system that allows you to remove or install your antenna in seconds without disconnecting any wires. Simply screw the antenna onto the mount to make the connection, making it ideal for boats in rack storage, winter storage, or trailer transport.

Key Features:

• 6 dB gain for enhanced coastal and offshore communication range
• Integral gold-plated, corrosion resistant coax connectors for a low loss/noise-free connection
• Durable white fiberglass construction
• Chromed brass ferrule for corrosion resistance
• Splash protection cap to protect the connector on the mount when antenna is disconnected
• Maximum input power of 50 watts
• VSWR of less than 1.5:1 at 156.8 MHz with 5 MHz bandwidth within 2.0:1 VSWR
• All QuickConnect antennas and bases are cross-compatible

Features a 2-year warranty. Note: Requires a Shakespeare QuickConnect mount (sold separately) - the QC antenna will only work with a QC mount. The cable is attached to the mount, not the antenna, eliminating the need to run new wiring when swapping antennas.
