Q |
What is the difference between a stubby and long antenna? |
| |
|
|
A |
The
selection of an antenna is highly dependant on the desired
coverage, distance from a repeater (if any), and how and where
the radio will be held or carried. First, it's important to
understand that most handheld antennas are 1/4 wave, meaning the
length of the antenna itself (before being shortened by coiling
or winding in plastic or rubber) is 1/4 the length of the radio
wave of that frequency. As you go up in frequency, the length
of the wave, or wavelength becomes shorter. This means that a
UHF antenna is shorter than a VHF, and an 800 MHz antenna is
even shorter yet. The higher your antenna is the better it will
perform, so even though the wire in a stubby VHF antenna may be
the same length as the wire in the regular VHF antenna, the
stubby will not perform quite as well. Generally, if you need
extended range, you want to stay away from stubby antennas, but
if you need to be able to wear the radio on your belt all the
time without it becoming obtrusive, a stubby antenna may be the
way to go. |
