I want to replace the antenna on my boat. The current vhf antenna is a two piece 16’ one that shows some cracking on the coax cable.
My question is this: can I unscrew the antenna coupler and buy an 8’ vhf antenna and screw it to the existing base? Is it a height thing or is that a stronger vhf antenna?
To be clear, does screwing a good quality vhf antenna equate to buying a new 9db antenna?
Thanks for your opinions.
