Marine Antenna

Are they universal between models?
I have a Uniden MC535.

Thanks

I'm assuming you're asking about the same bayliner you have already been on line about. If so:
Get a 5db gain antenna of the length you want. All VHF antenna use the same cord plug/screw adapter at the radio end so no worries there. Make sure to get a VHF antenna. Keep in mind many antenna do not come with bases to mount them to the boat. So check and see if you need to get one of these as well.
Good luck!

How to build a VHF marine radio antenna for less than $10.

also, does the gain control alter the outgoing signal or the reflected signal?

-Horizontal polarization can be used.
-The return signal can be 'blanked' for the first short period to ignore areas close to the radar.
- Successive return signals can be averaged (or ANDed) together so that only targets which were there over several scans are displayed. Clutter tends to be random, so is filtered out in this process leaving the target return clear.

I would expect the gain control to affect the received signal.
A single, powerful pulse is transmitted.
The receiver then starts to receive responses:
Strong returns close to the transmitter would be received first, so receive gain is turned down. Then, as the returns are received from further out, the signal becomes weaker (due to the Tx and Rx signals spreading out from their respective point sources), so gain needs to be higher to receive a clear signal.
The gain signal would be an up-ramp (low gain toward high gain) per receive period in between transmissions.

wanted to get a magnetic wilson (2 Mtr 5/8), but i wanted my antenna longer than 62 inches, i know there is a way to take out the existing one and change it to a longer one, but how and where can i buy just the antenna for it, not the base and antenna?

im looking for a 70-85 inch whip, it comes with a 36 inch whip!
thanks,

anywhere online that sells them?

i am getting xm put im my boat and i dont know if i should get a stereo that is xm ready or just use the one i have. would i have to have an antenna either way/

I'm not sure what you mean except for the antenna part. Yes, you need an XM antenna.

If you can clarify the first part of your question, I'll take a shot at it. Maybe you're trying to decide between a portable and installed unit? If so, go portable especially for a boat. You can use it in the car, at home or just hanging out.

No one will be within range of a VHF on land. Everyone else uses a CB. Citizen's band is on a different frequency than a VHF.
