Terrible Disconnect for Boat Electronics

This antenna quick disconnect is a complete waste of money. The connection is unreliable and constantly drops out, making it impossible to rely on for important communications while out on the water. The process for disconnecting and reconnecting is also frustratingly slow and clunky. On the plus side, it is easy to install.

Pros
  • Easy to install and disassemble for convenient storage or transportation.
Cons
  • May require additional adapters or connectors to fit some types of radio equipment.
