Smiley Antenna Mini Rubber Duck UHF Antenna – 460 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 users who need the smallest possible antenna without sacrificing dependable communications performance. Designed specifically for handheld radios, it delivers a true omni-directional 3 dBd gain pattern for improved signal consistency compared to many factory-supplied antennas.
Precision tuned to 460 MHz and optimized for operation across the 450–470 MHz range, each antenna is individually hand-tuned and impedance matched for handheld radio use. Unlike generic antennas, every Mini Rubber Duck is built and tested for reliable real-world performance.
The 460 MHz UHF band is commonly used for:
• GMRS communications
• Commercial and business radio systems
• Security and event operations
• Construction and industrial communications
• Hospitality and facility management
• Utility and maintenance crews
• Public works and transportation communications
• Schools, campuses, and facility communications
• Race scanner monitoring and motorsports listening
• General UHF handheld radio applications
Constructed 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 daily use in demanding environments. At just 1.5 inches in length, it offers an ultra-low-profile design that minimizes snagging while maintaining dependable signal performance.
Excellent for Scanner Monitoring
The 460 MHz Mini Rubber Duck is also a great choice for scanner enthusiasts monitoring UHF communications commonly used at motorsports events, race tracks, public venues, businesses, and commercial operations. Its compact size makes it ideal for portable scanners while providing reliable reception.
