Marine Emergency VHF Antenna
Based on a proven Rolatube design developed for and in use by the military, the marine Emergency VHF Antenna is a unique piece of communications equipment. The patented design integrates a high-performance antenna into the rollable composite material, removing the need for separate mast and antenna units and reducing equipment count and setup time. Just unroll the antenna, connect it to your radio and start transmitting.
Convenient stowage
The rollable composite construction enables the Revolve marine emergency VHF antenna to be stored easily, taking up minimal space on board. When needed, it unrolls in seconds to form a 8ft long, high performance VHF antenna for use in situations when primary communications equipment is not operational.
High performance and efficiency
Tuned to channel 16 with AIS compatibility, the rollable emergency marine antenna is compact, light and portable and offers exceptional RF performance. The design and IPX7 rated waterproof composite construction is maintenance free for maximum reliability ensuring its always ready for use in the harshest conditions.
Quick, reliable and flexible
Incorporating rigging holes and supplied with velcro straps, the antenna is deployed in seconds either be handheld or rigged to any suitable mast or superstructure to gain height and range. The full 8ft length of the antenna further increases performance.
