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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose a compact 27MHz boat antenna?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes the 4050-B particularly attractive when you are looking for a practical balance between 27MHz communication and freedom of movement on board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor which frequency is the Shakespeare 4050-B suitable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shakespeare 4050-B is designed for the 27 MHz Citizens Band, commonly referred to as CB in the Netherlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the product specifications, the nominal SWR is a maximum of 2.0:1 on channel 19.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the advantage of the Lift-n-Lay antenna mount?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA practical feature of this boat antenna is the integrated polycarbonate Lift-n-Lay mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mount is part of the antenna and the necessary mounting hardware is included. Therefore, you do not need to select a separate antenna base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDurable Shakespeare fiberglass construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ferrule and integrated Lift-n-Lay mount are made of polycarbonate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe antenna consists of a 1\/2 λ electrical design and is vertically polarized. Additionally, according to the specifications, the model features DC grounding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes RG-58 coaxial cable and PL-259 connector\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep this in mind when determining the mounting location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMain advantages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 27MHz boat antenna of approximately 91 cm for CB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Lift-n-Lay mount that allows the antenna to be folded down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWhite Shakespeare fiberglass construction with permanently sealed coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes approximately 2.13 meters of RG-58 coaxial cable and PL-259 connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eComplete deck mount with included installation hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompact CB antenna for fishing boats\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shakespeare 4050-B Little Giant is particularly interesting when you want to install a CB antenna on your boat without having a long antenna in the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its length of approximately 90 cm, the antenna takes up relatively little space.
