to the quality and performance capabilities of the antenna. Don’t compromise. Insist on genuine Shakespeare.

Galaxy XP Silver Series

For over a century, Shakespeare has maintained a winning tradition of getting there first with the best. This is particularly evident
today as other antenna manufacturers promote “innovations” that we pioneered years ago and now regard as standard features. Take,for example, low angle of radiation. Our engineers developed low angle techniques in marine antennas in the 1960s. Or take fiberglass
radomes, hand-soldered connections, brass and copper elements, or metal ferrules for demanding conditions. Or ultra smooth, extra
durable, polyurethane finishes. All were introduced, and remain superior, in Shakespeare antennas.
Boaters worldwide know and trust Shakespeare innovation, performance, quality and reliability. Command and communication
centers aboard ships of the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy and military services around the globe count on Shakespeare for antenna
design, technology and quality manufacture.

Galaxy® Eliminator ® Series
They grate on your nerves, those shrill squawks and squeaks, whistles and tones
that sporadically erupt from even squelched marine VHF radios. Pure noise to mostfolks, “Intermod” and “Out-of-Band Interference” are what experts call it. And sorry

Galaxy Eliminatorto say, the closer you get to busy seaports, harbors or shipping channels, the more
likely you are to experience this interference.
To reduce the effects, Mariners have traditionally used externally mounted notchand band-pass filters. Unfortunately, these bulky filters are costly and requireconnecting cables that may decrease the sensitivity of your marine VHF system.
But now, after more than two years of extensive research and field trials,
Shakespeare engineers have developed a revolutionary filter technology that candramatically reduce the annoying effects of Out-of-Band Interference in your VHF
radio. Best of all, the filter circuits are built right into the antenna. There are no power
connections or special cables of any kind. So all you do is install the antenna as
usual. And since these special filters have less than 0.25dB insertion loss, there isvirtually no impact on your transmit range.
Available only from Shakespeare, this revolutionary technology is offered in two
antennas: the 8', 6dB Galaxy 5225-FLT and the 17'6", 9dB Galaxy 5018-FLT.
Both feature all the quality and performance you expect in a Galaxy antenna.
Just pick the one that’s right for you – and enjoy the quiet!
• Greatly Reduces Pager and Intermod Interference• Patented – Special, High Efficiency Filter Built In• Installs As Usual – No Special Cables or Power Required• Virtually No Impact on Transmit Range• Two Versions: 8' with 6dB Gain and 17'6" with 9dB Gain

Typical Marine VHF receiver responses
comparing the Eliminator Series and an
ordinary antenna. Notice the dramatic
reduction of annoying squelch breaks atthe "Normal Squelch" level. The Ordinary
antenna had 5, while the Eliminator Series
had only 1.

6This chart displays the attenuation characteristics of the Galaxy Eliminator Series
Antennas. Notice the rapid roll-off ofinterference-causing frequencies justbelow the marine band. By reducing“Out-of-Band” signals entering the receiver,
not only are annoying squelch breaks
controlled, but the Signal to Noise ratio
on marine VHF channels is vastly improvedfor clearer sounding reception.

Collinear Phased 5/8 Wave Elements with Special Filtering to
Suppress Out-Of-Band Interference
If you boat near busy seaports, in harbors or just offshoreof major cites and are troubled with annoying squawks andsqueals erupting from your VHF radio, the 5225-FLT is foryou. Using Shakespeare’s revolutionary filter technology,
the 5225-FLT provides all the performance of the flagship
Galaxy 5225-XT, plus it can significantly reduce annoying
Out-of-Band and Intermod Interference caused by pagers,
land mobile radios and other signals near the marine VHF
radio band. And, it does this with virtually no impact ontransmit range. The 5225-FLT features the extra toughGalaxy fiberglass with its high-gloss polyurethane finish.

ELIMINATOR®

This antenna implements Shakespeare’s innovative filtering
technology that helps get pager and other Out-of-Band
interference under control in installations demanding taller,higher gain antennas. In busy radio areas like harbors,
the antenna’s filter can make a big difference in how much
“RF garbage” you hear. Working with your radio’s own
rejection circuitry, the 5018-FLT can actually improve thefidelity of your VHF radio. Except for the added filter,the 5018-FLT is otherwise like the acclaimed 5018.
Its highly sophisticated design is outstanding for long

A Marine Radio Is Only As Good As Its Antenna
Knowledgeable boaters realize that even the most expensive radio will perform poorly with a second-rate antenna. Such antennas save money
up front, but jeopardize the welfare of those aboard. That’s why they prefer the quality, performance, and reliability of Shakespeare marine
antennas. From the largest seagoing ships to the smallest bass boats, Shakespeare antennas have held up for years under the worst marine
conditions, always performing to their maximum design capabilities.

Reliability Begins with Quality Construction
Shakespeare fiberglass antennas are built with precision, beginning with hand-soldered connections, brass and copper elements,
strong mechanical joints, and superior electronics. The radiator and electrical elements are then encased in an exclusive Shakespeare
fiberglass radome.

Tips On Choosing the Proper Antenna
Since there are many factors that influence the selection of a proper antenna for a specific application, we encourage consultation with a local
dealer whenever possible.
When this is not possible, the following tips should be considered before making a final decision.

Antenna Length

Gain

Height is paramount in getting the greatest range, and therefore

This is a rating stated in decibels (dB). Generally, the higher the gain,

is acceptable. A decision should be made on personal preference.

Powerboats:
Most power boats from 16' to 25' in length use a standard
8' antenna, while bigger vessels have the option of larger antennas withmore gain. Caution: be sure to allow enough lay down room forclearing low bridges or other limitations.
Whichever choice is made, a sturdy mounting arrangement is

A Final Word
The greatest tip to keep in mind is that no matter how much you pay for your radio, its performance will be directly proportional
to the quality and performance capabilities of the antenna. Don’t compromise. Insist on genuine Shakespeare.

For over a century, Shakespeare has maintained a winning tradition of getting there first with the best. This is particularly evident
today as other antenna manufacturers promote “innovations” that we pioneered years ago and now regard as standard features. Take,for example, low angle of radiation. Our engineers developed low angle techniques in marine antennas in the 1960s. Or take fiberglass
radomes, hand-soldered connections, brass and copper elements, or metal ferrules for demanding conditions. Or ultra smooth, extra
durable, polyurethane finishes. All were introduced, and remain superior, in Shakespeare antennas.
Boaters worldwide know and trust Shakespeare innovation, performance, quality and reliability. Command and communication
centers aboard ships of the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy and military services around the globe count on Shakespeare for antenna
design, technology and quality manufacture.

Galaxy XP Silver Series

For over a century, Shakespeare has maintained a winning tradition of getting there first with the best. This is particularly evident
today as other antenna manufacturers promote “innovations” that we pioneered years ago and now regard as standard features. Take,for example, low angle of radiation. Our engineers developed low angle techniques in marine antennas in the 1960s. Or take fiberglass
radomes, hand-soldered connections, brass and copper elements, or metal ferrules for demanding conditions. Or ultra smooth, extra
durable, polyurethane finishes. All were introduced, and remain superior, in Shakespeare antennas.
Boaters worldwide know and trust Shakespeare innovation, performance, quality and reliability. Command and communication
centers aboard ships of the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy and military services around the globe count on Shakespeare for antenna
design, technology and quality manufacture.
