Performance and Installation Notes

The CX4 is a 3 Marine dB omnidirectional antenna, making it a practical choice for vessels where reliable all-round VHF coverage is more important than maximum theoretical range. Its lower gain pattern is well suited to small and medium vessels that experience movement in real sea conditions.

For best performance, mount the antenna as high and as clear as practical, with good separation from other antennas, metal obstructions and high-power transmitting equipment.
