Shakespeare Antennas 5225-XT Galaxy VHF Marine Antenna 8' 6dB Gain

The Shakespeare 5225-XT Galaxy is a high-performance VHF marine antenna featuring collinear-phased 5/8 wave elements that deliver 6dB gain for extended communication range on the water. Standing 7.75 feet tall with an 8-foot overall length, this antenna is built on Shakespeare's proven 5225 design but upgraded with a stronger, stiffer radome for exceptional durability.

Key Features:

• 6dB gain for superior transmission and reception performance
• Collinear-phased 5/8 wave elements for optimal signal efficiency
• Extra-tough reinforced radome construction for high-wind and high-speed conditions
• 8-foot length (7.75' radiator) ideal for hardtops, T-tops, and radar arches
• White finish complements any vessel
• Built to withstand harsh marine environments

The 5225-XT is specifically engineered for demanding installations where standard antennas may flex or fail. Its reinforced radome provides extra resistance to vibration and wind loading, making it the preferred choice for center consoles, offshore fishing boats, and high-speed cruisers. This antenna delivers reliable VHF communication when you need it most, combining Shakespeare's decades of marine antenna expertise with enhanced structural integrity.
