First off, I would never use any VHF antenna less than a Shakespeare Galaxy antenna. When you’re offshore, your life may depend on your ability to communicate, and the Galaxy line of antennas are very high quality. What’s new in their antenna is a pre- soldered connector, small enough to rout through small holes. The terminal end simply screws on the pre-soldered end, then screws on the back of a radio. Every tech knows that how the end is attached to the coax cable determines the effectiveness of the antenna, and Shakespeare has eliminated the tricky part of making that connection.
My antenna was shipped promptly and packaged properly. I highly recommend this product.
