Description
This Smiley Antenna Tri-Band HAM & NOAA Telescopic Whip will let your Amateur Radio HT hit the mark!
Has a telescoping 4.5–20.5″ radiating element and 1″ SMA-Male connector base (5.5–21.5″ assembled length). The super efficient synthetic-rubber dipped NT-MIL cover and base-loaded flex coil matching network with 50 W power handling and 50 Ohm impedance insure durability, high performance, and wide compatibility. A great match for the exclusive BSR Wouxun KG-UV9PX amateur SHTF prepper radio!
This super efficient Omni-directional multi-band antenna is usable in 4 positions with 3–9 dBd gain:
| 2 meters “146” | 1/4 Wave | Fully Extended (21.5″) | 1.3 SWR |
| 1.25 meters “220” | 1/4 Wave | 4 Sections Down (from top, 13″) | 1.3 SWR |
| 70 centimeters “440” | 5/8 Wave | 2 Sections Down (from top, 17.5″) | 1.3 SWR |
| 70 centimeters “440” | 1/4 Wave | Fully Collapsed (5.5″) | 1.3 SWR |
Works with Wouxun, AnyTone, TYT, Retevis, Icom, Yaesu, Kenwood and most other radios with an SMA-Female antenna connector. An additional rubber washer or #8 O-Ring and nylon flat-washer (not included) is recommended for some radios to retain water-resistance (contact me if you would like to see an image of what that looks like).
The screw-on TA connector base is removable and can be swapped for an SMA-Female or BNC connector base (available separately) to use the antenna with other radios.
NOTE: Smiley is switching their SMA connectors to black instead of silver (they look great with most radios). As I transition to the new stock, you may receive the new black connectors when I run out of the silver. New images coming soon!
Includes a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty, but this proven performer will last many years when handled with care. Works great as a VHF/UHF Police, Fire, EMS, S&R, LMR, Commercial, NOAA Weather and Business scanner antenna also!

This one is the best so far. In my search for the best handheld antenna I think I’ve purchased them all. There is no such thing as the perfect antenna but this one is the best so far.

Purchased for my UV9PX. Has a pre mark for easy find for my 6+” GMRS / 440 MHz HAM position. Then extend almost fully (19+”) for my 2-meter HAM communications.

Definitely a Solid Buy:
Paired with an Anytone 878UVII Plus I was able to hit a repeater 50 miles away on 2-meter! Signal report was suprisingly good for an HT.
I also have this antenna on my Wouxon UV9PX and have good results with 2M, 70cm, and even GMRS! I own 3 of these antennas for HAM and 2 for GMRS and love the performance of them all.
Definitely a solid buy if you’re looking for a good multi-band antenna and don’t want to fiddle around with changing antennas for each band.
