Antennas while on the move
can be a difficult task,
too big and your losing egronomics and stealth.
Carry compact gear thats inferior and you'll be
lucky to pick even powerful signals.
Larger handheld yagi antennas are great for
direction finding(DF finding).
Extendable, telescoping antennas are much easier
to carry but non directional.
< 30 MHz

These work fairly well, however you
get what you pay for...cheaper models of
basically the same design don't
necessarily outperform the more expensive
models..
the connectors either have excessive loss
or are just so loose that a reliable
connection is non existent. |
> 30 MHz
|
A majority of this type are loaded
rubber-duck style antennas, basically a
long piece of colied wire. |
> 800
MHz
Rubber-duck type
|
Most of these antennas are nothing
more than a peice of wire cut to
frequency.
However, Some are loaded and produce a
gain thats in excess of unity.
These can become quite expensive. |
