While we manufacture our antennas to perform at the highest level, we also design with our boaters in mind. With a convenient press-and-twist bayonet fitting, attaching or removing the stainless steel whip from this VHF antenna is quick and easy. The bayonet has been re-designed and improved for extra convenience.
