0.82 m short tape antenna
A broadband antenna designed for portable and handheld transceivers equipped with a standard TNC connector. It is used for communication in the tactical VHF band without any need for further fine-tuning. The antenna consists of an emitter and an antenna matching. The antenna radiator is made of steel tapes. There is a plastic cover at the upper end of the radiator, while the bottom end of the radiator is fixed to a flexible part that provides for easy vertical alignment of the radiator.
