Are you looking for a complete VHF marine antenna for your boat, including cable and mount? The Shakespeare 427-N-KIT combines a 1.52-meter (5-foot) marine radio antenna with 3 dB gain, copper and brass antenna elements, and a durable high-gloss white finish. The kit is also supplied with approximately 6 meters (20 feet) of RG-58 antenna cable, a PL-259 connector, and a Shakespeare 4186 antenna mount.
With this, Shakespeare offers a complete solution for installing a VHF antenna on the deck of your boat. The antenna is tuned to the VHF marine band from 156 to 162 MHz and has a maximum continuous input power of 50 watts.
A practical choice for skippers who want to combine good specifications with a complete and neat installation.
What do you use the Shakespeare 427-N-KIT for?
The Shakespeare 427-N-KIT is designed as a VHF marine antenna for use with an onboard marine radio.
The antenna operates within the frequency range of 156 to 162 MHz and has vertical polarization. With an impedance of 50 ohms and a stated gain of 3 dB, it is specifically intended for communication within the VHF marine band.
At a length of 1.52 meters, the antenna remains relatively compact while still providing you with a full-fledged marine radio antenna for deck mounting.
What does 3 dB gain mean for this marine antenna?
The Shakespeare 427-N-KIT has a specified antenna gain of 3 dB.
For a marine radio antenna on a boat, not only is high gain important, but the way the antenna radiates the radio signal also plays a role. A 3 dB marine antenna offers a practical combination for use on vessels where movement and heeling are part of the conditions.
The antenna also has a specified VSWR of maximum 1.5 at 156.8 MHz and a bandwidth of 5 MHz within a VSWR of 2.0.
What do you get with the Shakespeare 427-N-KIT?
The advantage of this package is that you do not just receive a standalone antenna. The 427-N-KIT is supplied as a set with various components needed for mounting and connection.
The included Shakespeare 4186 Ratchet Mount is a swivel base that allows the antenna to be mounted on the deck. For this purpose, the antenna has a standard 1"-14 thread, a common connection for marine antenna mounting.
Additionally, approximately 6.09 meters of RG-58 coaxial cable is included, along with a PL-259 connector for connection to the marine radio.
Durable Shakespeare antenna for boat mounting
For an antenna placed permanently outdoors on a boat, the construction is at least as important as the electrical specifications.
The Shakespeare 427-N-KIT is equipped with brass and copper antenna elements and a nylon ferrule. The exterior features a smooth, white high-gloss polyurethane finish.
According to Shakespeare, this finish is designed to remain durable and not yellow under the influence of sunlight. This helps keep the antenna looking neat even after prolonged outdoor use.
The antenna consists of one section and has a total height of approximately 152 cm.
What connection does the Shakespeare 427-N-KIT have?
The supplied coaxial cable is of the RG-58 type and has a length of approximately 6.09 meters. A PL-259 / UHF-male connector is included for the radio connection.
According to the product specifications, the PL-259 connector is not pre-installed on the cable. This allows the cable to be routed through the boat first during installation before the connector is attached.
This can be especially practical when the coaxial cable needs to be pulled through narrower cable ducts or existing wiring paths.
