NOTE: Due to high shipping costs, we do not ship antennas outside the US.

This is a heavy-duty style marine VHF antenna with 6dB gain. Total length is about 4.5 feet.

This antenna is available in white or black and we feature three different models

156 MHz: for use with VHF radios
159 MHz: for use with AIS/VHF radios or AIS/VHF splitters
162 MHz: for use as a dedicated AIS antenna for AIS receivers or transponders

Be sure to select the correct color and tuning before adding this to your cart.

These antennas feature a nominal SWR of 1.15:1 at the tuned frequency and bandwidth of 10 MHz with less than 1.5:1 VSWR. These specs make the 159 MHz model ideal for use with AIS/VHF antenna splitters as well as Class B SOTDMA AIS Transponders that have Message 27 turned on. For more information on antenna selection, see our article here.

These antennas mount on any Morad 1-inch diameter stanchion for extra height or can be used with the Morad M91 Adapter to mount to a 1 inch x 14 male threaded mount.

Q: I would like to know the the difference between the Part Number:VM-VA162 and this Morad 6dB gain antenna. Is the difference in cost worth the features of the two? Which one will give me the best performance?

Asked by: Gary Gratton - 1/22/2020

A: This Morad antenna will give you better performance being a 6dB gain antenna. These are custom made here in Washington state and have very high build quality. They are a slightly different form factor and may be less appropriate mounted on the top of a mast where the Vesper product would be a better choice. If you are planning on rail or side mounting then the Morad antenna would be best.
