4′ VHF/AIS White Antenna with 15′ Cable

The 594-MW is one antenna designed for the best performance on VHF and AIS signals. To ensure the most incredible AIS and VHF range, Digital Antenna’s new 4.5dB gain AIS/VHF antenna features a less than 1:5:1 SWR on both the VHF (156MHz) and AIS (162MHz) frequencies.

Digital VHF radio-based transponder systems need antennas designed for digital signals. Digital Antenna is the only manufacturer to design all antennas to maintain and maximize digital signals for the best transmit and receive range.

Ideal for use on any size commercial or recreational vessel. Perfect for use with combined VHF/AIS radios. Factory-installed mini-UHF connector (less than 3/8” OD) and included PL259 adapter make a quick and secure connection to the radio. (no soldering needed).
