Uniden AWM301: 1.8m Heavy-Duty Marine VHF Antenna Whip

The Uniden AWM301 is a high-performance, 1.8-metre (6ft) marine VHF antenna whip, offering the ideal "mid-size" solution for offshore boaters. Engineered to handle the rigorous conditions of the Australian marine environment, this fiberglass whip provides the extra height needed for superior signal propagation without the extreme overhead clearance issues of a full 2.4m antenna.

Key Features

• Optimised 1.8m Height: At 1.8 metres (6 feet), the AWM301 provides a significant boost in "line-of-sight" range over standard 1.2m antennas. It is the perfect choice for medium-to-large cabin cruisers and fishing boats, providing enough elevation to clear most T-tops and cabin structures.

• Precision Marine VHF Tuning: Specifically tuned for the Marine VHF frequency band (156–162 MHz), the AWM301 is designed to maximize the transmission and reception performance of your 25W fixed-mount radio.

• Heavy-Duty Fiberglass Construction: The internal copper elements are protected by a high-quality, UV-stabilised fiberglass radome. This rugged build is engineered to withstand high-speed vibrations, heavy salt spray, and intense sun exposure.

• Interchangeable Quick-Connect Design: The AWM301 is fully compatible with Uniden’s MBM series of ratchet mounts (MBM10, MBM20, or MBM25). The convenient screw-on design allows you to quickly remove or lower the whip for trailering, bridge clearance, or safe storage.

• Sleek Marine Aesthetics: Finished in high-gloss marine white, this antenna is designed to resist yellowing and blend perfectly with the clean lines of modern fiberglass and aluminum hulls.

• Easy Identification: Features a colour-coded band to ensure the correct frequency whip is easily identified and paired with your Uniden mount during installation.
