Smiley Antenna CO., INC, 465 MHZ Mini RUBBERDUCK Antenna (UHF) - (SMA Female) (**Smiley Base FITS Baofeng, Wouxon, Yaesu, and More.. ** See Radio Manual for Proper Base Selection**)

Description

• MINI RUBBER DUCKS Super efficient UHF antenna show a OMNI directional 3 dbd gain. Sealed in synthetic rubber and NT-MIL coverings. Strong and flexible. This flex coil matching network provides at band center low SWR as well as a 5 MHz from band center. Antenna tuned at 465 MHz being the band center, the antenna will perform the same between 460 - 470 MHz. Length 1 1/2"
• Electrical - 50 Watts max power - Impedance matched to the portable
• Helical Elements Construction - Exterior exclusive NT-mil covering - Dipped in synthetic rubber to provide a weather seal & webb coil, preventing distortion - Highly efficient copper-plated helical wound hardened steel wire - Flow soldered nickel plated brass base
• Exterior PVC or TA exclusive NT-MIL special space age covering provides the most rugged yet flexible HT antenna available today.
• A synthetic rubber dip provides a weather seal, as well as a dielectric constant and a mechanical web effect between the coils of the spring preventing any distortion of the coil. When heated it bonds to the outer covering. Highly efficient copper plated radiating elements are used to maximize power to communicate, unlike un-plated elements that have high resistance to RF energy and cause dielectric losses.
• Quarter-wave antennas require an associated ground plane counterpoise for proper operation. the size and location of the ground plane relative to the antenna will affect the overall performance of the antenna in the final design. When used in conjunction with a ground plane smaller than that used to tune the antenna, the center frequency typically will shift higher in frequency and bandwidth will decrease.
• The proximity of the other circuit elements and packaging near the antenna will also affect the final performance. At Smiley Antenna every antenna is tuned on handheld Simulator with no ground plain and no radials for Minimum SWR and Maximum ERP (EFFECTIVE RADIATED POWER). Smiley Antennas are designed and tuned to be used on a hand held radio.
• The tuned antenna bases are all flow soldered assuring excelled electrical connection, plus double protection at point of maximum stress. The Smiley Antenna Company has universal bases that fit most radios; the bases are nickel plated brass (not steel), preventing dissimilar metal oxidation or rust. Our Antenna can be fitted to over 10 different connectors, such as BNC, TNC, and SMA. At Smiley Antenna Company, we manufacturer our own bases.
