Straight (Metal) Antenna, Ham Radio 144/430MHz, Omni Radiation, 2/3dBi Gain with BNC Male Connector
High-Performance Dual-Band Amateur Radio Whip
Engineered for high-efficiency dual-band VHF (144 MHz) and UHF (430 MHz) ham radio operations, this 17-inch tactical whip antenna delivers 2 dBi and 3 dBi gain respectively. Constructed with a rugged, resilient tempered spring steel whip, it is built to bend under physical stress and withstand mechanical impacts during outdoor field operations. The antenna terminates in a classic, quick-disconnect BNC Male bayonet-locking connector, ensuring a secure, vibration-proof RF connection with a VSWR of ≤ 1.5:1.
