🌐 Pacific Aerials P6106 – 0.45 m Heliflex Marine VHF Antenna

Product Overview
The Pacific Aerials P6106 is a compact and flexible VHF marine antenna featuring a 0.45 m Heliflex design. Built for durability and performance, it delivers high-quality VHF communication in a low-profile form—ideal for small vessels, boats with limited mast height, or installations requiring flexibility.

Key Features

• Heliflex Construction: Uses a highly flexible fiberglass whip that bends under stress and returns to its original shape—perfect for minimizing damage in tight areas.

• Marine Band Optimised: Tuned specifically for 156–162 MHz VHF marine frequencies, ensuring reliable transmission and reception.

• Robust Radome & Ferrule: Durable UV-resistant radome and stainless steel ferrule provide strength in challenging marine conditions.

• Compact Design: At just 0.45 m, it’s great for installations where clearance is limited, such as under radar arches or in aft cockpits.

• Standard Mount Compatibility: Fits common UHF/Mounting bases used across marine installations—versatile and easy to swap.

• Omnidirectional Pattern: Provides 360° reception even in motion or rolling sea conditions.

✅ Why Choose the P6106

🛠️ Installation & Use Tips

1. Mount the base on a flat, unobstructed part of the boat at minimal height.

2. Secure the Heliflex whip into the base until the collar locks firmly.

3. Route coaxial cable to your VHF radio and weatherproof all connections.

4. Test for clear marine band reception post-installation.

5. Regularly inspect the whip and base, ensuring salt and UV have not affected integrity.

🎯 Ideal Applications

• Small Boats & Dinghies: Ideal for low-freeboard vessels needing VHF without a tall mast.

• Radar Arch & Flybridge Clearance: Flexes around obstacles and avoids damage with arch contact.

• Fishing and Workboats: Tough and flexible for rugged marine environments.

• Safety or Tender Vessels: Compact, easy-to-mount antenna for safety craft.
