    Where is the best place for a VHF antenna?

    Hey guys,

    I want to install a vhf radio inside my sundancer.
    Does anyone has a picture off a place where to put the antenna?

    I thinking about a fiberglass white one. For example the Shakespeare galaxy.

    But where is a nice place?

    Thanks!!

    The highest possable place. 4 or 8 ft extention too.
    DO NOT CUT THE COAX , final ant connection using a swr meter for maximum performance.

    I was surprised to see a VHF radio is not even an option for your boat. That said I would suggest the typical location for a Sundancer, in between the Sundancer logo and Sea Ray emblem on the starboard side.

Now we are trusting the economy of our country and our banking system to the same nit-wits who couldn’t make money running a whore house and selling whiskey!”

    Thanks....I have seen some pictures with that location. I agree that is a perfect place for it.
    I seems to me a good plan to put a VHF on the boat. I not going to drive alot to open sea, but it is a extra safety.
