Shakespeare Marine Antennas 396-1 Editorial Review
The Shakespeare 396-1 5' Classic AIS Antenna is advertised incorrectly as an AIS antenna but is actually a VHF antenna. This mistake has caused inconvenience for customers who expected an AIS antenna. However, for those in need of a VHF antenna, this product is easy to install and provides good performance. It offers a good height and performs well, comparable to an 8-foot antenna. The quality is typical for this price range and it is convenient to have it delivered to your door.
