Shakespeare Galaxy 65" Broadband VHF Antenna (SHA-HS-2774-1-R)
The Shakespeare Galaxy broadband VHF antenna is a benchmark in marine communications — trusted by commercial operators and serious offshore cruisers who demand maximum range, durability, and zero-compromise signal performance. At 65 inches (5.4 ft), this antenna delivers high gain across the entire VHF marine band without the need for tuning or matching, making it a true fit-and-forget installation.
Key Features
- Broadband design covers the full VHF marine band (156–163 MHz) without tuning
- High-gain 6 dBd output for extended transmission and reception range
- 65-inch (165 cm) fibreglass construction — lightweight yet exceptionally rigid
- UV-stabilised fibreglass radome resists fading, cracking, and saltwater corrosion
- Shakespeare Galaxy series — a proven standard in commercial and offshore marine use
- Standard 1–14 UNS thread base for compatibility with most marine antenna mounts
- Low VSWR across the full band ensures efficient power transfer from your radio
Why Broadband?
Narrowband antennas can exhibit elevated VSWR at the edges of the VHF marine band, reducing effective radiated power on channels like 16, 22A, and AIS frequencies. The Galaxy’s broadband design maintains consistent performance across all channels — critical for DSC, AIS monitoring, and coast guard communications.
