5' VHF Inflatable Emergency Antenna 3dB Galaxy

5’, 3dB GALAXY®-INFL8 VHF, Inflatable Emergency and Special Purpose Antenna The GALAXY INFL8-5 by Shakespeare is the world’s first emergency antenna with the performance to earn the GALAXY name. It is an inflatable antenna that can be rapidly deployed via a CO2 cartridge or a manual tube and inflates to 5 ft (1.6 m) to offer a full 3dB antenna with a range of up to three times greater than any existing helical emergency antenna. Thanks to its inflatable design, the antenna can be deflated and stowed away safely in its easy-to-spot storage bag until it is needed again. 

The antenna can be mounted with its hook and loop straps allowing for quick and easy installation in any weather to stanchions, outriggers or other vertical structures on board. The antenna also features grommets on the top and bottom to facilitate hanging and securing to spreaders, masts, hard tops and other structures even in case the inflatable bladder becomes damaged. 

The connectors included in the package allow for versatile connection options. The pre-soldered PL-259 connector allows connection to a Fixed VHF directly or a handheld via the included SMA Adaptor.

Features:

  • Inflatable to Full 5' with Full 3dB performance in an emergency antenna
  • Rapid & rigid inflation
  • Versatile mounting options through Straps & Grommets along the edges
  • Manually Inflatable*
  • Compatible with most fixed mount and handheld VHF Radios
  • Easily stowable in included bag
  • Includes FME Cables

*When manually inflated, the product does not inflate to be rigid enough to be mounted free standing. Recommended only if antenna can be supported at the bottom and the top. 

Ideal For:

  • Back Up VHF Antenna
  • Kayaks
  • Jet Skis
  • Inflatables & Displays


The world's first emergency antenna with the performance of being awarded the title of Galaxy. It is an inflatable antenna that can be quickly deployed via a CO2 cartridge or manual tube.
