We just purchased a Vesper Cortex V1. Our present
VHF antenna is a Shakespeare Mariner 4200 (3 db), mounted at the masthead.
VHF cable is LMR-400.
Mast height is 62 ft. Total cable length is approximately 75 ft. We realize that Vesper manufactures an AIS/VHF
antenna (Model# VA159) tuned for the
AIS end of the band, but I am curious to know what success or problems, if any, others may have encountered with using an existing VHF antenna. Thanks!
