Scout KM-10 VHF Fibreglass Antenna – Ultra-Compact 18cm Marine VHF Antenna
The Scout KM-10 is a compact and rugged VHF marine antenna, designed for reliable performance where space and aesthetics matter. At just 18cm in length, this Italian-made antenna offers a discreet yet capable solution for a wide range of boats, from open RIBs and centre consoles to sailing yachts and small cruisers.
Compact and Durable Fibreglass Design
Despite its small size, the KM-10 is built to last. Constructed with a solid fibreglass body, it features a glossy anti-UV finish that protects against sun damage and saltwater corrosion. This makes it a smart choice for long-term marine use, especially where equipment needs to withstand the elements without compromising appearance or function.
3dB Gain – Balanced Signal Performance
The antenna provides a 3dB gain, delivering a focused signal pattern well-suited to short- and mid-range VHF communications. It’s ideal for boats operating in coastal waters, harbours, and inland waterways, where signal clarity is critical but a long antenna is impractical.
Universal Mounting and Lightweight
The KM-10 comes with a standard 1" x 14 threaded ferrule, making it compatible with most common marine antenna mounts. Weighing only 160g, it places minimal load on structures and is perfect for mounting on consoles, masts, or hardtops where space is at a premium.
