Do stubby antennas work as well as the regular length 2 way radio antennas?
Do stubby antennas work as well as the regular length 2 way radio antennas?
A stubby antenna has the same length antenna wire as a regular length antenna however the actual antenna is coiled around a mast in order to produce a stubby or shorter profile antenna. In theory they are suppose to provide the same coverage but this is seldom true. However if your reception is good with a stubby antenna you have the advantage of a low profile antenna.
