Pacific Aerials P6205 AIS 2.5m UltraGlass Longreach Pro Antenna
The Pacific Aerials P6205 is a high-performance, 2.5 meter (8.2 ft}) UltraGlass Longreach Pro Series Marine AIS Antenna tuned for Automatic Identification System (AIS) transponders and receivers (161.975 MHz and 162.025 MHz). Delivering 6dBi nominal gain, it extends the transmission and reception range of Class A and Class B AIS transceivers on powerboats, commercial vessels, and offshore cruisers.
Built with a heavy-duty fiberglass radome and ultra-white lacquer coating, the P6205 features Pacific Aerials’ proprietary Pro Series FastFit system. This design allows the antenna glass whip to be unscrewed and removed from the mounting base without disturbing the installed coaxial cable or cable glands, simplifying winter storage, trailering, and maintenance.
Key Features
-
Dedicated AIS Tuning: Center-frequency optimized for Class A/B AIS transceivers and receivers (161.975MHz and 162.025 MHz).
-
High-Gain 6dBi Performance: Concentrates radiation pattern toward the horizon to maximize target tracking distances.
-
Pro Series FastFit Connection: Antenna whip detaches from the cable base without cutting, unsoldering, or unthreading cable runs.
-
Heavy-Duty UltraGlass Radome: Thick-walled fiberglass tube finished with UV-stabilized polyurethane lacquer withstands high winds and salt exposure.
-
Solderless Cable Termination: Simplifies deck penetration wiring via pre-attached FastFit coaxial connector plugs.
