Reviews

Looks like a nice antenna. The dimensions indicate it is 14 tall but with all the base fittings it is about 15-1/2 tall from the mounted surface. Too tall to fit under my turtledeck where I only had 14-1/2 of clearance.

Easy to install, but panel thickness limited to about 5mm otherwise you cant fit the gasket and skirt on the outside. I added more Aluminium tape for the groundplane- that supplied was probably adequate, but a bit on the sparse side. Pre-terminated cable was very handy. Reception excellent.
