Boni-Whip Marine active antenna

Product information "Boni-Whip Marine active antenna"

Boni-Whip Marine Active Antenna 20kHz - 300MHz

The Bonito Boni-Whip marine antenna is one of the smallest (only approx. 50cm long) long-, medium- and shortwave active antennas in the marine market. Despite its small size, it renders excellent reception. With its range of 20 kHz to 300 MHz,  the antenna covers both shortwave and FM. The antenna amplifier is directly integrated in the antenna and is powered by a power inserter requiring 12-15 V.  The circuit boards are multi- protected against corrosion and the bracket is made of stainless steel.

The 2016 model has new housing and a new, longer and more flexible radiating element which results in signals which are stronger than before by 3dB.

We only recommend on-board active antennas, in case you cannot use the aft stay or a long wire antenna because active antennas can often make interferences even stronger.  We tested many antennas and found a good compromise with this in-house development and at a good price at that.

Tip: I recommend you order a roll of Nittotape (self-sealing adhesive tape) at the same time to product connections and to prevent corrosion.

Tip
NITTO 15 - Self fusing butyl rubber tape
NITTO 15 - Self fusing butyl rubber tape 19mm x 5m Ideal to protect your coax connectors from weather and moisture Excellent heat/cold resistant capabilities. The tapes are unified by fusing together. Excellent electrical properties. Completly self-amalgimates in two hours A self-fusing tape which utilizes properties of remarkably heat-resistant, weather-resistant self-fusing tape and silicone resin. Meets a wide range of needs, from insulating material for electric equipment, to insulation, protection, and bundling of automobile wire harnesses. Characteristics of Notto No. 15 Nitto 15 has an excellent volume resistivity, a high breakdown voltage and a low dissipation factor. It is totally resistant to moisture, water and chemicals.Nitto 15 offers excellent electrical insulation, workability and weather protection. The product has a superior weatherability and ozone resistance and because of the linerless system a very short application time. It completely self-amalgamates in two hours. Application Nitto 15 can be used for termination, splicing and corrosion protection of cables. Also insulation and protection of lead shielded cables is possible. The product is used for its waterproof sealing and corrosion protection of cables in marine and off-shore environments. Application temperature: min. –10 °C and max. 40 °CMaximum service temperature: continuously 65 °C and short periods 100 °CAbove 40 °C the tape begins to amalgamate to itself and can become difficult to unwind.

Over Voltage Protector OVP1000
Over Voltage Protector OVP1000 Small part, big impact!Triple protection against overvoltages on the antenna line: To protect your receiver we offer the OVP1000 a new surge (Over Voltage Protector). Built-in coaxial lines, so be high current pulses as generated by lightning strikes in the immediate vicinity derived. These protect the OVP 1000 on three counts against overvoltages on the antenna line: Antenna side: A gas discharge tube with 60V ignition voltage, max. Pulse discharge current 1 kA (8 / 20us) On the receiver side. An ultrafast diode ESD (30KV max pulse power 350W (8 / 20us) Input and output are also for DC voltages up to max. Blocked 100V Without replaceable cartridge, the system is completely replaced. Not waterproof. Extremely broadband deployment Frequency range: 200Hz - 1GHz (type 1 dB insertion loss.)RCA sockets: BNC Made in Germany Overvoltage protection OVP1000 in practical use I inserted the 1000 inline while listening to Old Time Radio on 6770 AM, on my beverage. Not only did it decrease clipping without attenuator inline, it eliminates the DC clips with attenuator engaged!!! I can say from experience, the OVP1000 is reasonably priced, protection device that offers no noticeable insertion loss of signal & obviously drops the induced static… Read the Article in the Bonito Newsroom    Please read carefully and Disclaimer:The OVP 1000 is no protection of the antenna line against direct lightning strike, since lightning always seeking kürzsten way to Earth, which does not necessarily take place via the coaxial cable. Therefore, the protection function is limited to overvoltages and potential differences between Koaxmasse (shield and inner conductor). Therefore, a liability for connected devices is generally excluded! When not in use, absence, broadcasting or lightning storms in the receiver should be disconnected to prevent damage from the antenna line! Made in Germany
