(530mm / 20,9’ length) and very easy to be installed everywhere thanks to the supplied ratchet mount. With its black flexible steel whip with helical design to avoid excessive whipping action, and integrated 6m
(20’) RG58C/U coax cable, it’s strong and safe.
Target is the perfect antenna for power boats, work boats and sail boats.
