VHF and CB ANTENNAS

Our brands

VHF (Very High Frequency) and CB (Citizens Band) antennas are crucial devices for long-distance communication in the nautical field.

These antennas are used to transmit and receive radio signals and are designed to work on specific frequency bands.

VHF antennas

VHF antennas are used for radio communications in the 30 MHz - 300 MHz band, typically for nautical, airborne, and land-based applications. Marine VHFs are essential for communication between vessels and with shore stations, and are also often used in emergency communications.

CB (Citizens Band) Antennas

CB antennas are used for CB radios operating in the 27 MHz frequency band and are very common in land-based communications applications such as trucks, cars, and among amateur radio operators. CB communications are legal without a license in many countries, but there are limitations on transmitter power.

FAQ

Is a VHF or CB marine antenna better?

The choice between VHF and CB (Citizens Band) depends on the type of use you have in mind for your onboard communications.

Choose VHF if your priority is reliable and secure communication at sea, especially for safety. It's the ideal choice for vessels sailing offshore or in more isolated areas, where long-distance communication and emergency calls are essential.

Choose a CB instead if you need short-range local communications (such as between vessels in port or near the coast) and want a cheaper, easier-to-use device that doesn't require a license. It's a good choice for those taking short excursions or sailing in areas where a long-distance communication system isn't necessary.
