The Icom UX-241 is a high-sensitivity external GPS/GNSS antenna manufactured by Icom Inc. in Japan. Purpose-built for fixed-mount marine VHF transceivers and mobile communications systems, the UX-241 supplies real-time satellite positioning data (latitude, longitude, course, and time) directly to Digital Selective Calling (DSC) controllers and navigational systems.

Designed primarily for vessel installations where the main transceiver chassis is located inside an enclosed wheelhouse, steel cabin, or dashboard console that blocks direct satellite line-of-sight, the UX-241 relocates the GNSS receiver interface to an open-sky location. Encased in a compact, low-profile IP67 dust-tight and water-resistant enclosure, the antenna includes a 5-meter (16.4 ft) low-loss coaxial cable terminated with a standard SMA male connector for effortless plug-and-play setup.

Key Features:
• Multi-GNSS Satellite Reception: Receives signals across GPS and GLONASS satellite constellations for fast positioning fixes and high accuracy.
• Weatherproof IP67 Enclosure: Dust-tight sealed housing engineered to endure harsh marine environments, salt spray, driving rain, and UV exposure.
• Extended 5-Meter Cable: Comes pre-fitted with 5 meters (16.4 ft) of flexible coaxial cable for easy routing from wheelhouse arches or cabin roofs down to the radio console.
• Direct Transceiver Powering: Receives low-voltage phantom power directly through the transceiver’s coaxial antenna connector without external power wiring.
• Versatile Surface Mounting: Features an integrated magnetic base and mounting template for fast securing to metallic superstructures, composite cabins, or radar arches.
