If replacing an existing installation using the same antenna it is important that these factors are checked when installing the Radio As the range of VHF signals are governed by line of sight the antenna should be placed as high as possible while remaining clear of any metallic objects that could influence the resonance of the antenna 40 VHF NX2000 NEXUS English The most popular antenna for marine use are 1m 3ft 3in long On sail boats these are usually mounted at the masthead where the length of the antenna keeps it clear from the navigation lights and wind vanes etc This type of antenna can also be mounted on the cabin roof or radar arch on powerboats Longer whip antenna are recommended for larger boats These radiate the same total power as smaller antenna but concentrate it into a narrower beam which is advantageous on a tall mast at extreme range where concentrating the available power into a narrow horizontal beam becomes more important However if the antenna is not vertical when transmitting the beam will be angled either too high or too low Fig E Here the wider beam of the shorter antenna will be more universally effective although the signal will be weaker Fig F Fig E Fig F Therefore vessels with a large heel angle small sailboats would do better with a short masthead antenna Your local agent should be able to provide specific advice on antenna choice for the vessel it is to be fitted on The antenna co
