Choosing the Right Antenna
Tait radio antennas are available in whip and helical variants for each frequency band. Whip antennas are typically longer and offer greater coverage. Helical antennas are typically shorter but offer less coverage.
If your radio users prioritise coverage over a compact antenna, choose the whip variant. If they prioritise a compact antenna over coverage, choose this helical variant.
