hello everyone , im looking into the low profile phantom antennas not just for stealth
but for offroad applications as well.

1. Does the range suffer due to the small stature of these if so how much
(in whatever terrain and conditions you have experianced w/ said antenna )


2. what is the quality

3. any reports to share on performance

I understand these arent going to be as good as a standard 1/4 or 5/8 wave whip. but would really suit my needs

i am reaching out to someone that has OWNED or actually OPERATED w/
these type of antenna
example antenna
Laird Technologies - TRAB4503 - 450-470 Phantom Antenna, Black . (i will be using the 70cm model on the ham band )
reports and recommendations on other low profile antenna are welcome !!!

thanks for looking and hope to learn from those who have already experienced these ..

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
