Albrecht Marine Antenna

Albrecht marine antenna for the 156-162 MHz frequency range

Which frequency and power specifications characterize Albrecht marine antennas?

The antennas in the category operate in the 156-162 MHz frequency range. Both versions are specified with 600 channels, 100 W maximum power and 3 dB gain. The S.W.R. value is listed as 1.1:1.5 for both products. These electrical specifications are common to the current models in the category, while their mechanical construction and cabling differ.

Stainless steel and fiberglass antenna designs

Albrecht antenna: how do whip material and length differ?

One version uses a 100 cm stainless steel whip. The other uses an approximately 150 cm fiberglass whip. The two versions therefore differ both in material and physical dimensions. When selecting the appropriate design, the antenna length and whip material should be considered together with the available mounting location.

Which mounting designs are available in the marine antenna range?

The fiberglass whip version has a tiltable and removable antenna design. No equivalent mechanical feature is separately specified for the stainless steel whip model. The mounting method should therefore be checked individually, especially when antenna tilting or removal is required at the installation point.

How do the cable and antenna connector differ?

RG-58 cable in Albrecht marine antenna designs

Both antennas are specified with RG-58 cable, but cable length and connector configuration differ. The 100 cm stainless steel whip model includes 18 metres of RG-58 cable with two PL 259 plugs. The approximately 150 cm fiberglass whip version is supplied with 4 metres of RG-58 cable and an Amphenol plug. Cable length and connector type are therefore directly comparable parameters when choosing between the two versions.

Albrecht marine antenna selection criteria

Which specifications should be compared when choosing a marine antenna?

The frequency range, maximum power and gain are specified with identical values for the models in this category. The main differences are antenna length, whip material, cable length, connector type and mechanical design. We recommend checking these product specifications together with the installation location and the radio equipment to be connected.

Documented common characteristics:

• 156-162 MHz frequency range.
• 600 channels.
• 100 W maximum power.
• 3 dB antenna gain.
• RG-58 cable.

In addition to the common electrical specifications, the two versions use different mechanical and connection solutions.

Documented differences:

• 100 cm and approximately 150 cm antenna lengths.
• Stainless steel and fiberglass whips.
• 18 metre and 4 metre RG-58 cable lengths.
• Two PL 259 plugs or an Amphenol plug.
• The fiberglass whip version is tiltable and removable.

These differences support the mechanical and connection-based comparison of the two Albrecht marine antenna designs.

Which technical specifications should be checked?

Antenna gain, cable and connector comparison

Antenna gain is specified as 3 dB for both versions and maximum power as 100 W, so these parameters do not distinguish the current models. The practical differences are cable length, connector type, antenna length, whip material and the presence of a tiltable and removable construction. Based on the product data, these are the main parameters that directly distinguish the two designs.
