📄 Product Description
The short helical antenna for Vertex Standard VX-160 Walkie Talkie is a compact alternative to standard long antennas, designed for users who prioritize comfort, portability, and discreet usage.
Operating in the UHF frequency range (400–470 MHz), this antenna ensures stable communication and clear audio in indoor and short-range environments.
Unlike long whip antennas (~6 inch), this stubby antenna (~3 inch) is:
- Easier to carry
- Less intrusive when worn on belt
- Ideal for confined workspaces
👉 Stubby antennas are commonly preferred when radios are belt-mounted because they are short and non-obtrusive
However, due to reduced physical length, they offer:
- Slightly lower gain (~0–2 dBi)
- Best suited for short to medium range
