Oh - did I mention they are junk?
So Shakespeare is the way to go? I had to replace two of those on the
Proline. They just quit working! I could transmit maybe a quarter mile

Oh oh.
Oh, oh, what???

I've actually followed this thread about antennas.
There have been two brand recommendations.
Metz and Shakespeare.
Harry and Tom both trashed the Metz.
You just trashed the Shakespeare.
Oh, oh, what brand antenna should John get?

I didn't "trash" Metz. I said the one I had fell apart. It is my feeling
that VHF antennae on small boats, even on small boats as large as my
original Parker, take a hell of a beating.
