I know. I was just adding to your post. I should have said it better.

If that Digital snaps at the base when you're offshore you're off the air since the element is embedded in the fiberglass rod.

If the Centennial snaps you can jury-rig the antenna element and still be able to x-mit.

Agree... the Centennial series is the sleeper in the bunch! Often overlooked because someone hasn't told your that you need to buy it.... but a great antenna at a great price. That's OK because those of who know about it can save a little cha-ching along the way!

The antenna you reference is simply two separate antennas combined into one housing. It has two feed lines, one for each antenna. They are separate antennas

The question was to whether or not one could use an existing VHF Marine Band antenna for cellular telephones. The answer is still, "No, you cannot."
