2.60m whip antenna for FURUNO FAX5 active antenna

The FURUNO 2.60m whip antenna is a 2.60-meter whip antenna specifically designed for the FURUNO FAX5 active antenna. This component is essential to ensure optimal reception of weather fax and NAVTEX signals onboard vessels.

Compatibility and Performance

With a length of 2.60 meters, this whip antenna is sized to operate in synergy with the FAX5 active antenna coupler. The assembly allows reception over an extended frequency range, covering 80 kHz to 30 MHz for weather fax and specific frequencies of 490 kHz and 518 kHz for NAVTEX. Using an antenna of shorter length would compromise the reception sensitivity of the FAX5 system, reducing the range and reliability of the received information.

Integration with the FAX5 System

This whip antenna is a key element of the FAX5 active reception system. It is designed to integrate directly with the FAX5 active antenna coupler, enabling users to fully benefit from their marine communication equipment for receiving critical navigation and weather data.
