Are you looking for a compact 27MHz boat antenna that doesn't get in the way while fishing? The Shakespeare 4050-B Little Giant is a 90 cm marine 27MHz antenna, specially developed for boats where a compact antenna is more practical than a longer model. With its frequency range for the CB band, integrated Lift-n-Lay antenna mount, and included coaxial cable, this Shakespeare is a complete solution for 27MHz communication on board.
The antenna features a white Shakespeare fiberglass construction with a permanently sealed coil. Thanks to the built-in Lift-n-Lay mount, you can also fold the antenna down whenever necessary. This is especially useful on fishing boats when you want to keep as much clear space as possible around the boat.
Why choose a compact 27MHz boat antenna?
A long antenna can be beneficial when maximum range is the top priority, but on a fishing boat, such an antenna can also get in the way. Shakespeare developed the 4050-B Little Giant specifically for situations where a compact size is more important.
With a length of approximately 91 cm, this CB antenna remains relatively compact. Shakespeare specifically mentions that the model is suitable for bass boats and other fishing boats where it is more pleasant to fish around an antenna of approximately 3 ft.
This makes the 4050-B particularly attractive when you are looking for a practical balance between 27MHz communication and freedom of movement on board.
For which frequency is the Shakespeare 4050-B suitable?
The Shakespeare 4050-B is designed for the 27 MHz Citizens Band, commonly referred to as CB in the Netherlands.
The specified frequency range is 26.965 to 27.405 MHz. The antenna has a nominal impedance of 50 ohms and a maximum continuous power input of 25 watts.
According to the product specifications, the nominal SWR is a maximum of 2.0:1 on channel 19.
What is the advantage of the Lift-n-Lay antenna mount?
A practical feature of this boat antenna is the integrated polycarbonate Lift-n-Lay mount.
This allows the antenna to be folded down when you need extra space or want to temporarily keep the antenna out of the way. This is convenient, for example, while fishing, during transport, or in situations where the full antenna height is not desired.
The mount is part of the antenna and the necessary mounting hardware is included. Therefore, you do not need to select a separate antenna base.
Durable Shakespeare fiberglass construction
With an antenna mounted outdoors on a boat, the construction is exposed to changing conditions. Shakespeare has therefore designed the 4050-B with a white fiberglass exterior and a permanently sealed coil.
The ferrule and integrated Lift-n-Lay mount are made of polycarbonate.
The antenna consists of a 1/2 λ electrical design and is vertically polarized. Additionally, according to the specifications, the model features DC grounding.
Includes RG-58 coaxial cable and PL-259 connector
The Shakespeare 4050-B comes with approximately 2.13 meters / 7 ft of RG-58 coaxial cable and a PL-259 connector for connection to suitable CB equipment.
An important point for installation is that, according to Shakespeare, the included cable should not be shortened. If you need more cable length, the cable can be extended with suitable coaxial cable and matching connectors.
Keep this in mind when determining the mounting location.
