The Simrad 1710 VHF antenna features an innovative design that separates the cable from the antenna head, allowing the antenna to be removed or replaced without cutting or pulling the cable, unlike conventional antennas where the cable is hardwired to the head. This fast-fit connector system facilitates easier cable installation and allows for smaller holes to be drilled through bulkheads.
The cable is pre-installed and hardwired to the mount, ensuring a reliable and durable connection. It is compatible with both stainless steel and nylon mounts, accommodating various installation requirements on boats.
The antenna is constructed from 2.5-meter Ultraglass fiberglass, providing optimal performance for marine VHF communications. The modular structure offers superior flexibility during installation and subsequent maintenance. This specific model includes the Q configuration, optimized for clear and stable voice transmission and reception. Simrad's VHF antenna solution prioritizes ease of maintenance and the integrity of existing boat wiring.
