Review: Great Antenna - I got this to replace a longer one I had on my boat. I wanted a shorter one so I could pass under local bridges without waiting for bridge openings. Lowering the taller antenna resulted in a loss of reception. I needed a powerful short antenna. In other reviews, people have mentioned the are hard to install because you need to solder the end piece on. It is actually an easy job for anyone that has soldered in the past. There are several Youtube videos that show the process of stripping the coax cable an installing the end piece. I would definitely buy again. Review: Great antenna, connector install is lame. - Bought this antenna to replace an 8ft one that I busted on a low bridge. It works great and while the range isn't as good as the 8ft obviously I can still get 2-3 miles non line of sight with it and the low output setting on a standard horizon marine radio (the guy I bought the boat from used it on the great lakes, I use it on the mississippi river so we're never that far from a marina/land/other boats). \ The only pitfall is the connector isn't attached (while aggravating its a good thing because you can fish the antenna wire through much smaller openings in your boat). I used a Shakespeare PL-259-CP-G Marine Center Pin Connector which only requires a pair of pliers to crimp onto the cable end rather than the enclosed one which requires cable stripping, soldering etc. Overall works great and would purchase again. ## Features - End-fed with matching stub, brass and copper elements - Chrome-plated brass ferrule with standard 1″-14 thread - Includes 4.5m RG-58 cable and a PL-259 connector - Suggested mount style 119352 ratchet mount - Smooth, durable, high gloss finish ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B006QZ7Z4W | | AntennaDescription | Radio | | Best Sellers Rank | #6 in Marine Antennas | | Brand | Shakespeare | | Built-In Media | Great Product | | Color | copper | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,236) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00719441100896 | | Impedance | 50 Ohms | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 3"L x 3"W x 55"H | | Item Type Name | Great Product | | Item Weight | 2.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Shakespeare | | Maximum Range | 4 Feet | | Number of Channels | 1 | | UPC | 719441100896 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Warranty | ## Product Details - **Antenna:** Radio - **Brand:** Shakespeare - **Color:** copper - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00719441100896 - **Impedance:** 50 Ohms - **Manufacturer:** Shakespeare - **Maximum Range:** 4 Feet - **Number of Channels:** 1 - **Product Dimensions:** 3"L x 3"W x 55"H - **UPC:** 719441100896 ## Images ![Shakespeare 4' Centennial VHF Antenna, White - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41HsWVNKHkL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what is the length of the cable?** A: I just unpacked my Shakespeare 5104 (4 foot) antenna. The cable measured exactly 15 ft. 8 inches from the base of the antenna. **Q: Can I mount this antenna to my mast?** A: Earl, I would buy the TRAM 1600-HC 35 antenna or similar model. The 5104 screws on to a base that may be difficult to mount on a mast. **Q: Please list the maximum receiving distance of this antenna?** A: Your transmit and receive ranges will vary according to the height above the water that you mount your antenna, and the height of the receiving antenna. VHF is line of sight transmit & receive, so for boat to boat probably about 3-5 miles unless one of the boats has a very tall antenna, then it would be further. **Q: What is the range of the antenna** A: The range of this antenna is the full vhf marine band...156-158 MHz. Plus marine wx. 162 MHz. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Antenna *by G***0 on December 4, 2023* I got this to replace a longer one I had on my boat.

I attached this antenna wire to the old one where the antenna mounts to the boat and just pulled the wire straight through, attached the included connector and connected it to my radio, install was probably 30 minutes. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shakespeare 4' Centennial VHF Antenna, White - ZOMCHAIN Marine VHF Antenna Mounts, Ratchet Mount, 316 Stainless Steel Adjustable Base Mount for Boat - Uniden UM385 25 Watt Fixed Mount Marine Vhf Radio, Waterproof IPX4 with Triple Watch, Dsc, Emergency/Noaa Weather Alert, All Usa/International/Canadian Marine Channels, Memory Channel Scan, White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1145189-shakespeare-4-centennial-vhf-antenna-white](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1145189-shakespeare-4-centennial-vhf-antenna-white) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
