Short, flexible VHF aerials for handhelds and vehicles
Hi-Tec Aerials helical and quarter-wave aerials are designed for handheld transceivers, and for any application where a shortened aerial is needed. They are available for VHF bands and can be built for any customer-specified frequency.
The helical radiating element is a high-tensile coil assembly, plated to improve radiation efficiency, and encased in a silicone rubber tube for a very flexible and durable aerial. The flexi quarter-wave models offer a full-length element for better performance where length is not a problem, and the rigid fibreglass quarter-wave suits fixed and vehicle installations. Wideband quarter-wave solid core whips are also available that screw directly onto our Hi-Tec bases.
