Handheld Antennas for Handheld Radios

Handheld Tactical Antennas: Long-range communications in your pocket

Increase the communications range you need for critical missions with handheld tactical antennas by Syntonics. Tactically rugged and sized to fit in your pocket or leg pouch, these innovative antennas were first developed for the U.S. military. The antennas are:

  • Rugged; impervious to water and grit
  • Silent to deploy, operate, and pack
  • Extremely lightweight and small; most fit in knee pouch
  • Low visual profile, using camouflage or dark matte finishes. HTA-SINCGARS intra-squad antenna is body worn.
  • Capable of talking further; LOS models talk four times further than “rubber ducky” antennas supplied with radios (15-20 dBi more gain)
