The Sirio Cruiser 2000 is a professional-grade, base-loaded marine CB antenna engineered to deliver reliable and stable communications in demanding saltwater and freshwater environments. Operating across the 26 to 28 MHz frequency spectrum, this high-performance antenna comes pre-tuned from the factory, completely eliminating the need for complex on-site field adjustments or cutting. Its rugged, marine-certified vertical design makes it an ideal choice for boats, yachts, and commercial vessels seeking stable local or long-range Citizen Band radio communication while out at sea.
Constructed with premium, weather-resistant materials, the Cruiser 2000 features a durable fiberglass whip element, rugged chromed brass components, and UV-stabilized nylon housings designed to withstand constant exposure to harsh UV rays, extreme moisture, and corrosive marine conditions. Offering a linear vertical polarization with an omnidirectional 360-degree radiation pattern, it ensures uniform signal propagation regardless of vessel orientation. Structurally, the antenna stands at approximately 1505 mm (4.94 ft) in height, strikes a balanced weight of 720 grams, and utilizes a secure thru-hole mounting style for rigid, flush deck installation.
From a technical standpoint, the Sirio Cruiser 2000 is built to sustain continuous operation, safely handling up to 15 Watts CW continuously and up to 50 Watts CW for short durations. It boasts an impressively wide operational bandwidth of 5.6 MHz or greater at an SWR of 2.0 or lower. For added equipment safety, the antenna incorporates DC-Ground protection to shield your radio transceiver against static discharges. The unit comes equipped with a 5-meter (16.4 ft) low-loss white RG58 coaxial cable to match clean marine aesthetics, allowing you to install your choice of connector terminal (connector not supplied) to fit your specific radio equipment.
