  • Join us on a journey that began forty years ago, when Bill Smashey and Don Smiley founded Smiley Antenna. Combining their passion for tuning antennas with top-notch materials, they birthed a brand dedicated to perfection. At Smiley Antenna, we believe that every detail matters.

  • Our antennas are built on a foundation of special steel coils crafted exclusively for Smiley Antenna in San Diego. These coils undergo a meticulous copper plating process to ensure optimal power transmission for seamless communication. Say goodbye to struggles with RF energy resistiveness and dielectric losses—our copper-plated coils excel in performance.

  • To protect our antennas against the elements, each coil is carefully encased in a synthetic rubber coating. This weather seal not only shields against external factors but also enhances durability and efficiency. With our exclusive NEO or NT-MIL special space-age covering, ruggedness and flexibility define our antennas, setting them apart in terms of reliability.

  • When it comes to bases, we set the standard. Flow soldered for superior electrical connections and double protected at critical stress points; our bases are designed for excellence. Crafted from nickel-plated brass to prevent oxidation and rust, they offer universal compatibility with most radios, supporting over 10 different connectors such as BNC, TNC, and SMA.

  • Smiley Antenna Company takes pride in crafting our own bases, ensuring that every component meets our strict standards. For a premium HT antenna that delivers unmatched performance and durability, look no further than Smiley Antenna Company. Trust us to elevate your communication experience with antennas where innovation meets reliability.
