An extendable whip (P/N 201909) is also available. 

Stainless steel for marine environments 
All metal parts used in the base and internally are 316 grade stainless steel making the 2019 suitable for operation in marine environments.

Gortex vent- immersion to 1M 
A Gortex vent allows the 2019 to pressure equalise whilst maintaining its immersion proof qualities to 1 m.

Composite control cable
