Digital Antenna 544-SSW-RS 16' Single Side Band Antenna w/RUPP Collar - White

The Digital Antenna 544-SSW-RS 16' Single Side Band Antenna with RUPP Collar is purpose-built for serious saltwater anglers and offshore cruisers who demand reliable long-range communication beyond cell coverage. Whether you're running 50 miles out for tuna, coordinating with your fishing fleet, or maintaining contact with the coast during extended passages, this single sideband antenna delivers the clear, stable signal you need when conventional marine radios fall short.

Designed specifically for the harsh marine environment, it handles heavy seas, UV exposure, and salt spray without compromising performance—critical when your safety and fishing success depend on staying connected. This 16-foot vertical antenna achieves superior range through efficient radiating length optimized for SSB frequency bands, allowing signal propagation far beyond line-of-sight limitations. The included RUPP Collar provides secure, corrosion-resistant mounting on your hardtop, tower, or mast with minimal vibration—essential when you're running in rough conditions and need antenna stability at high speeds.

White powder-coated fiberglass construction resists saltwater degradation and UV damage, while the design minimizes loading on your vessel's structure. At a verified weight of 10.65 lbs, the antenna remains manageable for installation yet maintains the rigidity necessary for consistent electrical performance in dynamic offshore conditions. Experienced offshore anglers, commercial fishermen, and cruising boat owners will find this antenna indispensable for reliable communication.
