Eliminates annoying squawks and other background noise

Using ShakespeareÂ’s revolutionary filter technology, the 5226-FLT provides all the performance of the award-winning, flagship Galaxy 5225-XT, plus it can significantly reduce annoying Out-of-Band and Intermod Interference caused by pagers, land mobile radios and other signals near the marine VHF radio band.

Maximum range and quality in a great looking antenna.
