Most radios come with stock “rubber duck” antennas, which are often inadequate for their intended purpose. A high-quality antenna not only enhances performance but also allows for better and more ergonomic integration into your overall gear setup. The Foul Weather Whip antenna is a prime example of an antenna that achieves both of these objectives. Its flexibility provides an excellent solution for stowing it along the shoulder straps of a plate carrier or chest rig.

It’s essential to note that there are numerous options available for mounting antennas on radios. I find the TNC connector to be the sturdiest option available for antenna mounting and try to standardize on it for all my radios.

This antenna is optimized to work across the 2m and 70cm bands and is a TNC connector.

NOTE: Your radio must be compatible with a TNC antenna.
