Product Information
About
EXTENDED 15.6IN DUAL BAND WHIP — 2.15/2.5dBi GAIN FOR CLEARER SIGNALS: The antenna provides a longer radiating element than stock rubber ducks, delivering 2.15dBi on 2m (144MHz) and 2.5dBi on 70cm (430MHz). Improves repeater contacts, simplex range, and NOAA weather reception. 50 Ohm impedance ensures efficient power transfer for cleaner transmission across VHF and UHF bands. 20W max power handling doubles competitors rated at 10W.
ABS + HEAT SHRINK CONSTRUCTION — 180-DEGREE FLEX WITHOUT BREAKING: Flexible ABS base with bonded heat shrink bends 180 degrees and springs back instantly. No mechanical joints or weak points to fail in the field. Lightweight single unit fits in any radio pouch, backpack, or molle webbing without risking damage to the antenna or radio connector port during transport and outdoor use.
BNC TWIST-LOCK CONNECTOR — FULL COMPATIBILITY LIST: Standard BNC bayonet — quarter-turn, no tools. for ICOM V8 V80 V80E V82 V85 V86 F3S HT-66 ham radios. Also for Kenwood TK-260 TK-270 TK-360 TK-370, for Motorola HT440 CP500, for Vertex VX-150 VX-170, for Alinco, for Uniden scanners, and any dual-band BNC transceiver up to 20W. BNC is stronger than SMA for field use — quick-detach, no thread wear. Verify your radio port before ordering.
SINGLE-UNIT VALUE — SAME HYS PERFORMANCE, LOWER UPFRONT COST: Delivers same 15.6in dual-band performance as our multi-packs at lower cost. Same ABS + heat shrink build, same 2.15/2.5dBi gain. Orange housing keeps your radio visible in low light, grass, or snow. Perfect for single-radio operators wanting to try HYS before committing to a fleet set.
FREQUENCY AND COMPATIBILITY BOUNDARIES — READ BEFORE ORDERING: Dual-band 2m/70cm (144/430MHz) ham radio BNC whip for ICOM and compatible handhelds. NOT for CB (27MHz), GMRS (462MHz), FRS, or MURS — those need different antennas. NOT SMA or SMA-Female — use a BNC-to-SMA adapter (sold separately). Max 20W — not for mobile or base amplifiers.
