KS-43
6 dB VHF fiberglass antenna 2,4 m (8′) length
The KS-43 is the best performing VHF antenna of the Scout range, specifically designed to guarantee long range communication and endless duration for boaters that want more than a good VHF antenna. Collinear-phased, made with solid brass and copper elements and extra heavy duty fiberglass 1,5 mm thick.
Moreover the antenna is totally foam injected with the Scout 100% waterproof technique, making it perfectly sealed and with an outstanding resistance to harsh environment. Water, wind, ice and high speed are good friends.
