The local harbor master asked me to install a police radio into his
patrol vessel. The police department gave him a Motorola Radius
GM300 - model m44gmc29c5aa with no antenna. It is a 40 watt 16
channel unit with a frequency range of 465-495 MHz. I've not had any
success finding a marine quality antenna. Any suggestions for
manufacturers and suppliers? I was very surprised Shakespeare doesn't
offer anything in the UHF band.

Call Morad Electronics in Seattle, Washington. They build VERY Rugged
VHF and UHF antennas specifically for the Maritime Radio Service.
We use them in the North Pacific fishing fleet almost exclusivly.
