Product Range
The catalogue features a wide range of antennas including VHF, emergency, commercial, cellular, AM/FM, AIS, Loran, ORBCOMM, SSB, TV, and WiFi antennas. Each product line is tailored to specific needs, with features like low angle radiation and hand-soldered elements for enhanced performance.
V-Tronix Antennas
V-Tronix antennas are noted for their high quality, featuring solderless masthead connections, wind indicators, and epoxy-sealed components for extreme conditions. They are suitable for GMDSS installations and come with multi-language installation instructions.
Key Features

2. AIS Antennas: Rugged fiberglass tube antennas with closed-cell foam and epoxy resin, available with RG213 or RG58 cables.
3. Active VHF Antennas: Stainless steel whip antennas for receiving only, with wideband capabilities.
4. Fiberglass Antennas: Available in one or two sections, with a 50-ohm impedance.
5. TV Antennas: Slimline design for omni-directional FM/TV reception, compatible with HDTV.
Procedures
1. Installation: Antennas can be mounted on horizontal or vertical poles with provided brackets and clamps.
2. Connection: Solderless connection kits facilitate easy cable termination.
Standards and Recommendations
1. Gain: VHF antennas offer gains of 3dBi to 6dBi, AIS antennas provide a gain of 3dBi.
2. Construction: Antennas are made with UV-resistant materials and epoxy resin for durability.
Critical Information
1. Compatibility: Antennas are compatible with VHF, AIS, SSB, AM/FM, Loran, WiFi, and TV systems.
2. Performance: The Classic range offers high-quality performance and value, focusing on durability and ease of installation.
Revolutionary Filter Technology
Shakespeare has developed a new filter technology integrated into antennas, reducing 'Out-of-Band Interference' without external power connections, maintaining transmission range with less than 0.25dB insertion loss.
Product Offerings
1. 5225-FLT and 5226-FLT Eliminator Series: Feature collinear-phased 5/8 wave elements and special filtering.
2. 5400-XT and 5401-XT Little Giant Series: Designed for mast mounting with a tapered fiberglass tube.
3. Extra Tough Series: Heavy-duty construction with collinear-phased 5/8 wave elements.
Specifications
Antennas are made of high-gloss fiberglass, featuring collinear-phased elements with 5/8 wave for enhanced range, and a non-yellowing polyurethane finish.
Installation Guidelines
Antennas should be installed as high as possible for maximum range. For antennas longer than 3 meters, intermediate support is necessary. Use RG-58 cable for lengths up to 6 meters; for longer distances, use low-loss cables like RG-8/X.
Conclusion
Investing in high-quality antennas like those from Shakespeare is crucial for optimal marine radio performance, ensuring reliability and superior construction.
