Another "better" use for the price difference would be for purchase of
a second antenna on a fold down mount. These are often mounted to a
lifeline stanchion. If your call for help involves a dismasting, your
main antenna may be 50 feet under water, pointed towards Davey Jones.
No cable is going to overcome THAT, or when you lose your mast top
antenna in a knock down.


Roger that!

Is this a viable alternative?

That would be FAR superior to nothing! LOL

You could have also used it for quickly verifying that the radio was
not your problem.
