Morad VHF-HD Special

Heavy Duty VHF 122-300 MHz Marine Antenna 6dB (Custom Tuned)

Most Common Mounting & Adapting Options

All of our HD style antennas mount using a 1” dia. pipe or male nipple adaptor which slides into the base of the antenna and is secured using the 3 stainless steel set screws in the base of the antenna. The bottom of the antenna has a standard SO-239 connector that accepts a standard PL-259 coax connector. You provide the coax cable of the length and size appropriate for your installation. See our recommendations on cable type and lengths. We strongly recommend you use a quality di-electric grease on all RF threaded connections and grease or Teflon tape on mounting threads to prevent corrosion and facilitate future removal.
