Pacific Aerials antennas
Whip antennae radiate in the vertical plain which is ideal for long range HF
communication. There is also less possibility of radiation getting back into the yacht, which reduces the
effects of onboard interference.
SSB whip antennas from Pacific Aerials are lightweight and easy to
install on most yachts and give outstanding performance.
Pacific Aerials are manufactured in Auckland, New Zealand. They are designed for a
tough marine environment. They are truly world-class antennas, innovative and durable.
HF/SSB antennas require a high standard of installation to work correctly. The antenna
is connected to an antenna tuner through a high voltage insulator and it is extremely important that the
antenna location and grounding system are correctly chosen so that the system will radiate
effectively.
The longest possible antenna should be chosen for each installation. The performance
of shorter antennas at HF frequencies is usually poor, particularly at the lower frequencies.
The antenna should be installed in a position free from obstruction, and as far away
as possible from other upright objects such as masts.
The ground system is a key part of the overall antenna system. A poor ground system is
the most common reason for poor antenna performance. Consult an experienced HF radio installer if you have
any doubts about the ground system.
SEAMASTER PRO SERIES RANGE:
“No cable” removable antennas for owners of smaller boats who want to remove and refit
the antennas as required. These antennas are generally less than 2m in height and have 3dBi of gain, and are
fitted with nylon ferrules
SEAMASTER RANGE:
“Hard wired” antennas for those owners who don’t need to remove the antenna. As with
the Seamaster Pro Series, these antennas are generally less than 2m in height and have 3dBi of gain. This
range includes mast mount antennas and cables.
LONGREACH PRO SERIES RANGE:
“No cable” removable antennas for owners of bigger boats and those looking for high
gain, high performance antennas. This range features a number of antennas above 2m in height and with up to
9dBi gain, including a wide range of cellular antenna options, all with polished stainless steel
ferrules
LONGREACH RANGE:
“Hard wired” antennas which combine elegant looks with excellent
performance. Most antennas in this range are over 2m and offer up to 6dbi gain. The
Longreach Series includes HF/SSB antennas of up to 7.3m, all with polished stainless steel
ferrules.
DEEPSEA RANGE:
Heavy duty antennas designed for installation on commercial vessels and coast
stations. 35mm industrial grade fiberglass and stainless steel mounting sleeves give these antennas unmatched
durability. All antennas in this range are terminated with a recessed N-type socket.
