Smiley Antenna Mini Rubber Duck UHF Antenna – 455 MHz | 3 dBd Gain | 1.5” | Made in USA
Built by Smiley Antenna Co., Inc. (Est. 1984), this Mini Rubber Duck UHF antenna is engineered for ultra-compact size with reliable real-world performance. Designed for handheld radios, it delivers true omni-directional 3 dBd gain for improved signal consistency over standard stock antennas.
Precision tuned to 455 MHz with a ±5 MHz bandwidth (450–460 MHz), this antenna maintains low SWR and stable performance across the full range. Each antenna is impedance matched for handheld radios, not generic tuned, ensuring maximum efficiency where it matters most.
Constructed with a flex coil matching network and sealed in synthetic rubber with a one-piece NT-MIL covering, it is strong, flexible, and built for demanding environments. At just 1.5 inches, it offers a low-profile design without sacrificing performance.
✔ Better range than stock antennas
✔ Reliable signal when it matters most
✔ Ultra-compact, low-profile design
✔ Built for real-world use
✔ Hand-tuned in the USA
Smiley Antenna – Built, tuned, and trusted since 1984.
“Small size. Reliable performance when it matters most.”
