Know before you buy
The RA1225 is a specialized VHF antenna designed for marine environments, providing reliable communication for boats and yachts. It is engineered to withstand harsh saltwater conditions while maintaining clear signal transmission.
Yes, the RA1225 is commonly used on sailboats. Its compact design and durable construction make it an ideal choice for masthead mounting where weight and wind resistance are key considerations.
The antenna typically requires a specific mount depending on your vessel's configuration. You should check the package contents, but generally, you will need to purchase a compatible Glomex mount separately to ensure a secure installation.
As a standard VHF antenna, its range is largely dependent on the height of the installation. When mounted at the top of a mast or a high point on the cabin, it provides optimal line-of-sight communication for standard marine radio operations.
Because it is built for marine use, it is low-maintenance. We recommend occasionally rinsing it with fresh water to remove salt buildup and inspecting the cable connections annually to ensure they remain tight and free of corrosion.
