Straight (Metal) Antenna, Ham Radio 144/430MHz, Omni Radiation, 2/3dBi Gain with BNC Male Connector
Rugged Dual-Band Tactical Performance
Engineered for dual-band amateur radio VHF (144 MHz) and UHF (430 MHz) operation, this 20-inch tactical whip antenna delivers 2 dBi (VHF) and 3 dBi (UHF) gain. Constructed from high-tensile, flexible spring steel, it bends on impact without fracturing, making it ideal for rugged field transceivers. Terminated with a secure, quick-disconnect BNC Male twist-lock connector, it ensures stable 50-Ohm matching with a VSWR of ≤ 1.5:1 at resonant frequencies.
