This is the new 2.40 m (8?) collinear-phased AIS antenna with FME termination, designed to ensure excellent performance in terms of quality, performance and design. It is made of a special stainless steel ferrule for ruggedness, beauty, and very easy installation. This antenna is different than most antennas because: It has an FME termination for a very quick and easy installation. Thanks to the FME termination, you can use the premade Glomex FME coaxial cables (RA350), in different lengths, with a pre-installed professional, high quality and rugged FME connector that can be fitted on the antenna in a few seconds without soldering or cutting the cable; The inside elements and fiberglass rod features. The elements of the antenna are made of spiral copper wires inserted into brass tubes which ensures long-range communication and the best radio performance. The tube is composed of double-thick fiberglass with a smooth polyurethane finish which is resistant to UV-rays and is reinforced by a double-layer of fiberglass (1,2 mm/0.05?). Moreover, the RA1225FME/AIS is a vertical polarized antenna minimizing the effect of reflection on flat surfaces (like the water), always ensuring the best possible performance.
