Stubby Tuned Duck UHF Antenna – 460 MHz | 3 dBd Gain | 2.5” | Smiley Antenna Made in USA
Smiley Antenna Stubby Tuned Duck UHF Antenna – 460 MHz | 3 dBd Gain | 2.5" | Made in USA
Built by Smiley Antenna Co., Inc. (Est. 1984), this Stubby Tuned Duck UHF antenna is engineered for users who need dependable performance in the smallest possible package. Specifically designed for handheld radios, it delivers true omni-directional 3 dBd gain while maintaining a compact 2.5-inch profile ideal for everyday carry, public safety, commercial, and recreational use.
Precision tuned to 460 MHz with approximately ±10 MHz usable bandwidth (450–470 MHz), this antenna maintains low SWR and reliable performance throughout the UHF spectrum. Each antenna is individually hand-tuned and impedance matched specifically for handheld radio operation, not simply cut to length.
The 460 MHz frequency range is commonly used for:
• GMRS communications
• Business and industrial radio systems
• Security and event operations
• Construction and jobsite communications
• Hospitality and facility management
• Commercial fleet operations
• Race scanner monitoring and motorsports listening
• Utility and maintenance communications
• General UHF handheld radio applications
Designed with a flexible coil matching network and sealed in durable synthetic rubber with a one-piece NT-MIL covering, this antenna is built to withstand demanding field conditions while remaining comfortable for daily use. Its low-profile design reduces snagging and improves portability compared to longer antennas.
Excellent for Scanner Listening
The 460 MHz Stubby Tuned Duck is also a great compact receive antenna for scanners monitoring UHF communications commonly found at motorsports events, race tracks, public events, business operations, and other UHF radio systems. Its small size makes it easy to carry while still providing dependable reception.
