This 6-meter TxRx whip antenna is a reliable solution for marine SSB MFHF communication. Built to withstand harsh sea conditions, it supports voice and data transmission across a wide frequency range. Whether you’re operating close to shore or in deep-sea regions, this antenna delivers the signal clarity and range needed for safe and efficient communication.
Crafted with high-grade fiberglass or composite materials, the antenna is both lightweight and corrosion-resistant. It is suitable for installation on decks or masts and pairs seamlessly with most Automatic Antenna Tuners (ATUs). Its slim profile and sturdy base ensure simple installation and long-term durability.
This antenna is fully compatible with major SSB MF/HF radio systems, including models by Furuno, Icom, JRC, Skanti, and SAILOR. With its wide frequency support from 1.6 MHz to 30 MHz, it enables stable transmission even in remote sea routes. A 50-ohm impedance and up to 1kW PEP power handling capacity make it ideal for both commercial and emergency use.
To ensure optimal performance, the antenna should be installed with a good ground plane or counterpoise system. When properly tuned and grounded, it delivers strong signals with low VSWR, ensuring clear and consistent communication.
This 6-meter MF/HF antenna is the perfect choice for vessels needing dependable, long-range communication at sea. Its simple setup, tough construction, and wide compatibility make it a must-have for serious marine operators.
