The GME VHF Antenna Whip Base, Cable and Plug 1800mm is a complete marine-grade antenna solution designed for long-range communication and professional-grade performance on the water. Ideal for offshore vessels, commercial operators, and serious recreational boaters, this setup combines height, durability, and convenience in one premium package.
At the core of the system is the 1800mm fibreglass VHF antenna whip, precision-tuned to deliver powerful transmission and reception across the full marine VHF frequency range. Its extended height ensures improved line-of-sight range, making it a top choice for vessels requiring maximum coverage in both nearshore and offshore conditions.
The antenna is built tough—constructed from UV-stable, corrosion-resistant fibreglass that stands up to salt spray, constant motion, and long-term sun exposure. Reinforced with a stainless-steel core, it remains rigid and resilient even in heavy wind and choppy conditions, providing year-round reliability.
This kit also includes a robust mounting base engineered for secure fitment to flat or angled surfaces. The base supports swivel positioning, allowing you to tilt or remove the antenna quickly when not in use or during trailering. Designed for GME’s detachable whip system, it features a waterproof FME connector to ensure quick, tool-free attachment while protecting the internal cable from the elements.
Integrated into the base is a high-quality, 5-metre low-loss coaxial cable, pre-terminated with a plug for direct connection to your VHF radio. This allows for fast installation and excellent signal integrity with minimal interference, even across long cable runs. A protective cap is included to shield the connector when the whip is removed.
The GME VHF Antenna Whip, Base, Cable and Plug 1800mm system is suitable for use on fibreglass, aluminium, or timber hulls, and is compatible with a wide range of VHF marine radios. Whether you’re upgrading from a smaller aerial or outfitting a new vessel, this all-in-one kit offers superior signal performance, clean aesthetics, and long-lasting durability.
Easy to install and built to withstand marine conditions, this antenna system is ideal for anyone who demands dependable VHF communication. With the added height of the 1800mm whip, you’ll benefit from clearer transmissions, reduced dropouts, and greater peace of mind at sea.
