Is item suitable for marine VHF/FM antenna connection at top of mast?

Yes this should work. Make sure to use moldable sealant on the connections.
1866219
Yes it is. Assumption is that your marine VHF antenna has a female (SO-239) connector at the base of the antenna. This cable has male PL-259 connectors at both ends. So just plug the male connector into the female connector and twist the collar to tight. For a marine install you should seal the antenna connection exposed to weather and salty brine / water. Use a marine sealant or a good heavy wrap of electrical tape. Depending on your boat, the 50 Ft cable may be more than you need. It will work fine, but you may have to coil up excess cable behind the VHF mount or in the bulkhead.

Should be fine but if a long run of over 50 feet you should use heavier like LM400 series on VHF/UHF
1866221
Yes, suitable for marine use....keep waterproof dielectric marine grade grease on the fittings to prevent corrosion.
1866222
If you keep the run under 30 feet it will be fine. 50 feet should work, but for reliability and better life and performance would suggest RG-213 coax. It will rssist salt water problems better also. In either case be sure to seal the connectors with sealant.

Yes. So long as your transceiver and antenna are using PL259 connectors. Go to the website of your radio and antenna manufacturers to make sure the connections are PL259. Otherwise I have two of these cables running VHF/FM/AM/HF antennas. Since your in water I'd make sure I use seal lock on the connectors then probably wrap them in black tape. This cable is decent.

What I did was go to Home Depot and buy a threaded 1" O.D. pipe. I also got an adapter there that steps the 1" up to 1 1/8" or 1/14"...either is okay. I then bought a rubber union with two hose clamps attached to it. I inserted the 1" pipe into the adapter, and the adapter into the rubber union. I fastened one clamp on the adapter, the other end onto the 1+1/2" antenna mast. I bought silver paint to match the mast and the parts....and the black rubber union. Paited it all, hooked the antenna up to the 1" pipe...Voila...done!

I purchased it before I thought about the mast,then checked size and used a one inch poece of pipe/tubeing to mount the antenna on.Must be no larger than a one inch diameter mast.Standard antenna uses a 2inch mast,but anything like what we have is 0ne inch diameter.

The unit is physically able to transmit on those frequencies, although it could take some time to figure out how. It is not type accepted for that use. The unit is designed to be used by licensed radio amateurs and other use would technically be illegal. My suggestion would be to buy a radio designed for the use it will be put to. There are a lot of reasonably priced marine vhf radios available on sites like like EBay.

Yes I have a VHF antenna and UHF and combine them. If it is a UHF/VHF combo + another UHF/VHF combos idk. Should work fine though, can't see it not. Pretty simple device.

No. This model antenna is specific to UHF frequencies. For VHF at that distance, I'd recommend this <http://is.gd/OhpTQJ>.

yes maybe not aircraft unless used for base station. but if being used for such fire pd marine an aircraft. i recommend much stronger antennas.

Yes... but this type of antenna is used Mostly for Moble 10 meter radios. If its a Home Base Station radio they have more powerfull Antennas on the Market.... Good Luck.....

This adapter allows you to connect a 50 ohm coax from a antennae on a mast to your hand held ham /uhf/vhf radio. hope this helps. Mike M.

I agree. Look at the Firestiks or Wilson antennas if you want to thread mount it. I posted a pic of the antenna disconnected from the magnetic base if you decide to go this route.

You will need to buy one separate... not included the antenna... I suggest the follow one Dual MAR16W Marine Flexible Mast AM/FM Antenna White

I went with a quad band antenna from ebay. Fixed to a boot mount on mast on house. Couldn't afford a home base antenna.

It's just the converter. You can use your old antenna if you had one. Just a regular VHF antenna like we've had for the last 60 years works fine.

If there is no antenna from a previous radio, get a hidden antenna. It's made for boats and hides up under the dash.

Gary, thanks for the question but I'm unsure? I have not yet even installed this VHF as a major refit has been delayed. All the best

Nope, but it is a very very nice antenna, all it needs is a mast and get it as high up as you can.

It is not a matter of can you "adapt it" to a CB radio. The antenna is designed for VHF marine band frequencies, not CB
