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, UV9D Plus+ & UV7D emergency SHTF prepper amateur radios!
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.
This antenna can be “tuned” up to the GMRS band somewhat for RX (or emergency TX) by collapsing the last segment a couple inches.
NOTE: Smiley is switching their connectors to black instead of silver (they look great with most radios). As I transition to the new stock, you may receive either or both colors. You can request a specific color in the checkout order instruction and I’ll try and accommodate, if possible.
Multi-unit orders may be combined into the same pouch. You can request separate pouches in the checkout order instruction and I’ll try and accommodate, if possible.
You can request a BNC instead of the SMA TA Base Connector in the checkout order instructions.
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.
