Our new 12 dbi external antenna has now arrived and it sure has been worth the wait. This antenna is a similar design to the Digital Antenna but has 2 more dbi or almost 75% more power. It is also clean and works wonderfully with all our gear. We are delighted with the testing and encourage everyone to purchase it. If you have our really old 6 dbi antenna- about 12 inches- it is time to upgrade- this is about 4 years old and the new antenna will provide many multiples of the range.

Unlike some of the cheap products on the market, this is marine grade and the coating will not peel off or turn yellow.

I know it is kinda expensive, but it comes with our solid core copper cable. The solid core is a key to performance. Braided cabeling is much cheaper but does not perform nearly as well in our real world tests. For you skeptics- excuse the geography lessons for non boaters- here is a photo of Greg White- our network guru testing our new antenna in the bbx boat 2 miles out from Friday Harbour getting full bandwidth. I even took a photo of my Garmin chart to prove it!
