Are you looking for a separate Shakespeare antenna whip for an antenna mount with a 3/8 connection? This black Shakespeare 27MHz antenna whip has a length of 120 cm and is equipped with a 3/8 male connection. This allows you to mount the whip onto a suitable antenna base with a 3/8 female connection.
The antenna has an electrical 1/4 λ top-loaded design, an impedance of 50 ohms, and vertical polarization. With its black finish, it serves as a practical replacement or standalone antenna whip for a suitable CB antenna installation.
For which connection is this Shakespeare antenna whip suitable?
This 3/8 antenna whip features a 3/8 male antenna connection at the bottom. For mounting, you therefore need a suitable antenna base or stud mount with a 3/8 female connection.
This makes the whip an interesting choice if you already have a suitable antenna mount and only want to replace the antenna whip or build a new antenna installation from individual parts.
Always check before ordering whether your existing antenna mount actually has the correct 3/8 female connection.
How long is the 3/8 antenna whip?
The Shakespeare antenna whip has a total length of 1200 mm, or 120 cm.
This gives you a full-fledged CB antenna whip without having to immediately purchase a complete antenna set including cable, base, and other mounting materials.
This is practical, for example, when the existing antenna mount and cabling are still in good condition and only the whip needs to be replaced.
What does 1/4 λ top-loaded mean?
According to the technical specifications, this Shakespeare antenna has an electrical 1/4 λ top-loaded design.
With a top-loaded antenna whip, a significant part of the electrical load is located higher up in the antenna structure. For the user, it is mainly important that the whip is designed as a complete antenna element according to this 1/4-wave configuration.
The antenna also has a specified impedance of 50 ohms and linear vertical polarization.
What is the VSWR of this Shakespeare antenna?
For this antenna whip, a VSWR of no more than 1.5 is specified.
A correct antenna installation remains important. The final performance depends not only on the whip itself but also on the antenna mount used and the rest of the installation.
Therefore, it is wise to correctly check and adjust the antenna installation after mounting before using it for transmission.
When should you choose a separate antenna whip?
Replacing a complete antenna set is not always necessary. If you already have a suitable 3/8 antenna mount, a separate whip can be a practical solution.
Consider, for example:
- Replacing an existing antenna whip with a matching 3/8 connection
- Assembling a CB antenna installation from individual parts
- Use on a suitable 3/8 female stud mount
- An installation where a black antenna whip is desired
- As a replacement 120 cm Shakespeare antenna whip
Black Shakespeare 3/8 antenna whip
With this Shakespeare 3/8 antenna whip, you are choosing a standalone CB antenna whip with clear technical specifications. The whip is 120 cm long, finished in black, and equipped with a 3/8 male connection.
Thanks to the standard 3/8 mounting, it can be attached to a suitable 3/8 female antenna base. The combination of a 50-ohm impedance, vertical polarization, and 1/4 λ top-loaded design clearly indicates the intended use for this whip within a suitable CB antenna installation.
Do you already have the antenna mount and cabling and only want to replace the whip? Then you do not need to unnecessarily purchase a complete antenna set with this individual model.
