It covers the full 156 to 162 MHz band, handles 100 watts, and mounts on a standard 1 inch-14 thread with a BNC female connector. Built for boats that need real offshore range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Comrod AV90\/2BI is a 16-foot, two-piece VHF antenna built for serious offshore range. It's a stacked co-linear design with 9 dB of gain, so it pushes your signal out toward the horizon and pulls in distant traffic far better than a short whip ever will. If you run a sportfisher, a trawler, or any boat where you actually depend on your VHF, this is the kind of stick you want mounted up high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe radiating elements sit inside polyurethane foam in a sealed white fiberglass tube, so salt spray and UV don't get to them. It handles 100 watts continuous and covers the full 156 to 162 MHz marine band with an omni-directional pattern. The base uses a standard 1 inch-14 thread and terminates in a BNC female connector. Two-piece construction means you can break it down for storage or transport instead of wrestling a full 16-foot length every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9 dB gain stacked co-linear design for long-range VHF transmit and receive out toward the horizon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16-foot two-piece build breaks down for easier storage and transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100 watt continuous power handling across the full 156 to 162 MHz marine band\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSealed white fiberglass tube with polyurethane foam elements shrugs off salt spray and UV\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard 1 inch-14 threaded base and BNC female connector for straightforward mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Comrod reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow tall is the Comrod AV90\/2BI antenna?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt stands 16 feet (4.9 m) in a two-piece configuration, which is what gives it 9 dB of gain and strong long-range performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat connector and mount does it use?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe antenna terminates in a BNC female connector and threads onto a standard 1 inch-14 base, so it fits common VHF antenna mounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat frequency range and power can it handle?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt covers the 156 to 162 MHz marine VHF band and handles 100 watts of continuous input power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs this antenna omni-directional?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes.
