VHF Antenna and Radar Bases and Accessories

VHF and radar antenna bases and accessories are essential for proper installation and to ensure the best performance of these devices onboard. Here's a list of the main accessories and bases you might consider to optimize the use of VHF and radar antennas:

VHF Antenna Bases

  1. VHF Antenna Mounting Base :

    • Pole Mount : Allows you to attach the VHF antenna to a pole or existing boat structure. It is durable and designed for harsh marine conditions.
    • Angled Base : Useful for mounting the VHF antenna at a specific angle, to optimize the signal range.
    • 360° Base : Allows you to mount the antenna so that it can be easily rotated, adapting it to the best position for optimal reception.

  2. Stainless Steel VHF Antenna Base :

    • Made of stainless steel to resist corrosion, these bases are suitable for installation in salty marine environments. They offer stability and durability.

  3. Adjustable Angle Antenna Mount Base :

    • Allows you to tilt the VHF antenna to a precise angle to improve signal directionality.

  4. Swivel Base :

    • A base that allows you to manually rotate the antenna to optimize signal quality, useful for moving marine environments.

VHF Antenna Accessories

  1. Coaxial Cables :

    • RG-58 cable : A common coaxial cable for VHF antennas, with good signal transmission quality. It is suitable for short distances.
    • RG-213 Cable : A high-quality cable, better suited for long distances. It is more durable and has lower signal loss.

  2. Coaxial Connectors :

    • PL-259 Connectors : These are the most common connectors for VHF antennas. They are used to connect the antenna to the coaxial cable.
    • SO-239 Connectors : These connectors are used for male and female type connections.

  3. Adapters :

    • Adapters for connecting cables of different sizes, such as PL-259 to N-male or SO-239 to BNC .

  4. Antenna Stabilizers :

    • They allow the antenna to be fixed in position, avoiding unwanted movements that could compromise the signal.

  5. Replacement Antennas :

    • If the antenna gets damaged or to improve performance, it can be replaced with a new VHF antenna.

Radar Bases

  1. Radar Base for Montaluce :

    • Specific supports for mounting the radar on light poles or elevated structures, improving the visibility and efficiency of the radar.

  2. Bow or Stern Radar Mounts :

    • Fixed mounting for the radar in a strategic position, usually on the top of the boat (for example on the bow or on the cabin roof).

  3. Rotating Radar Base :

    • A base that allows you to rotate the radar to improve coverage and adapt to navigation.

  4. Radar Base for Montaluce with Adjustable Heights :

    • Allows you to adjust the radar height, useful for avoiding interference or optimizing the viewing angle.

Radar Accessories

  1. Radar Cables and Connectors :

    • Power cable : Cable to power the radar, with protection to avoid electrical overloads.
    • Coaxial signal cables : Used for the return signal from the radar, which must be of high quality to minimize signal losses.

  2. Stainless Steel Radar Mount :

    • Heavy duty stainless steel bracket, suitable for rough sea conditions, which can be securely fixed to the boat structure.

  3. Protective Cover for Radar :

    • Plastic or rubber covers to protect the radar antenna from extreme weather conditions (rain, wind, sand).

  4. NMEA 2000 Interfaces and Cables :

    • Used to integrate radar with other navigation devices (GPS, chartplotters), improving interoperability between onboard systems.

  5. Radar Amplifiers :

    • Used to enhance the radar signal and amplify the detection range, particularly useful in environments with a lot of interference.

Final Considerations :

  • The quality and durability of the base and accessory materials are essential to ensure a long useful life for VHF and radar antennas, as they are exposed to atmospheric agents and sea salt.
  • Make sure you choose accessories and bases that are compatible with the dimensions and specifications of your radar or VHF antenna, for optimal installation and good performance.
