VHF Antenna ?

walleyes4*u Posted 3/2/2007 6:52 PM (#51999) Subject: VHF Antenna ? Member Posts: 82 Location: Iowa I just purchased a new Icom fixed mount VHF radio to put in the boat (Alumacraft). Looking for some suggestions on what antenna I should go with. Not real interested in the 8' antennas, more like the 3'-5' range. Will be using on lakes in MN, IA, WI. So I would like your advice on what to get. crosbystick Posted 3/2/2007 7:53 PM (#52001 - in reply to #51999) Subject: RE: VHF Antenna ? 4 ft Little Giant works like a 8 footer, there are some digital ones also don't know how these are?? shink Posted 3/2/2007 8:01 PM (#52002 - in reply to #52001) Subject: RE: VHF Antenna ?

Member Posts: 82 Location: Iowa I was looking at the shakespeare models, just wasn't sure which one to get. I see they have a whip model, but cheaper price. I want to get a quality one that works great the first time.
