CXL 2-1/... Marine VHF Antenna (and Base Station VHF Antenna), 160 MHz VHF Band
This antenna is also highly recommended as Base Station VHF Antenna.
This marine VHF antenna is developed for use on board ships as well as on masts and thanks to the 1” revolving nut mounting system it can be mounted in the mast, in the auxilliary mast as well as on the cross-beam. By means of PROCOM’s flange mount it can also be mounted on deck or rooftop.
Bear in mind that the higher the VHF antenna is mounted the better coverage. Avoid mounting the antenna parallel with and in the neighbourhood of other metal parts, such as mast, supporting wires etc. Free mounting and as high as possible is most preferable, otherwise the SWR and the radiation diagram will be influenced.
The antenna is a 1/2λ design and this means that it needs neither loading coils, ground-plane, radials nor other auxiliary arrangements.
The CXL 2-1/... VHF marine antenna can, without problems, operate with duplex radioes and on the semi-duplex channels, owing to the fact that it is broad-banded. In other words, CXL 2-1/... has a shipshape SWR on the RX-frequencies, which is just as important as it is for the TX-frequencies.
Furthermore, the antenna is a grounded radiator antenna and therefore it shows a DC-short across the coaxial cable.
A conical glassfiber tube completely encloses the carefully designed radiating element to assure long dependable service in all climates.

CXL 2-3LW/... Lightweight, 3 dBd VHF Marine Antenna (and Base Station VHF Antenna) for the 2 m band, 160 MHz VHF Band
This antenna is also highly recommended as Base Station VHF Antenna.
CXL 2-3LW/… is a 3 dBd, vertically polarised, omnidirectional marine and base station antenna, which covers the VHF-band in 4 models.
Provided with the sturdy “LW” mast mount – a lightweight, multipurpose, epoxy-coated mounting bracket made of non-corrosive aluminium. The accompanying U-bolts and fittings are made of stainless steel.
To be mounted on vertical or horizontal mast tubes, 16 to 54 mm in outer diameter. The cable can be led either on the outside or along the inside of the mast tube.
Large bandwidth with respect to both SWR and gain. The phasing of the radiating elements is adjusted to yield maximum gain in the horizontal plane, with the level of the sidelobes reduced to a minimum.
The carefully designed, broad-banded antenna element is sealed in a high-quality conical glassfiber tube with low wind-load, which will ensure undisturbed performance by corrosive environments.
To substantially reduce noise caused by atmospherical discharges, all metal parts in the antenna are DC-grounded. Consequently, the antenna shows a DC-short across the coaxial cable.
The CXL 2-3LW/… marine VHF antenna is a vibration-proof, lightweight, slim-line, corrosion resistant, modern style marine and base station antenna.

MA 2-1 SC Marine VHF Antenna with Low Weight and Wind Load for Masthead Mounting, 160 MHz VHF Band
This marine VHF antenna is designed especially for mounting at the masthead of sailboats. The dimensions have been kept as small as possible to reduce weight, wind load and cost.
Despite the small dimensions the efficiency is very high, and this VHF marine antenna is fully capable of handling the full 50 watt of output power from typical marine VHF transmitters.
The tapered 1/2λ stainless steel radiator together with the chromed brass housing and stainless steel corner bracket constitute an antenna tough and ready to cope with the corrosive environment at the masthead.
The end-fed dipole principle makes the antenna independent of ground-plane, radials or other auxiliary arrangements.
The antenna whip should not be mounted parallel or near to other metal parts, such as windex, supporting wires etc. Free mounting and as high as possible is preferable, otherwise the SWR and the radiation diagram will be influenced.
