2. Antenna types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_types

   Small monopoles ("whips") are used as compact, but low-gain antennas on portable radios in the HF, VHF, and UHF bands. Whip Type of antenna used on mobile and portable radios in the VHF and UHF bands such as FM "boom boxes", consists of a flexible rod, often made of telescoping segments

3. Helical antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helical_antenna

   Their compact size makes helicals useful as antennas for mobile and portable communications equipment on the HF, VHF, and UHF bands. [citation needed] A common form of normal-mode helical antenna is the "rubber ducky antenna" used in portable radios. A handheld two-way radio, with the rubber sleeve removed from the antenna.

4. Whip antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whip_antenna

   Whips are the most common type of monopole antenna, and are used in the higher frequency HF, VHF and UHF radio bands. They are widely used as the antennas for hand-held radios, cordless phones , walkie-talkies , FM radios , boom boxes , and Wi-Fi enabled devices, and are attached to vehicles as the antennas for car radios and two-way radios for ...

5. Ultra high frequency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_high_frequency

   Omnidirectional UHF antennas used on mobile devices are usually short whips, sleeve dipoles, rubber ducky antennas or the planar inverted F antenna (PIFA) used in cellphones. Higher gain omnidirectional UHF antennas can be made of collinear arrays of dipoles and are used for mobile base stations and cellular base station antennas.

6. Rubber ducky antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_ducky_antenna

   The technical name for this type of antenna is a normal-mode helix. [7] Rubber ducky antennas are typically 4% to 15% of a wavelength long; [7] that is, 16% to 60% of the length of a standard quarter-wave whip. Protective rubber removed from the antenna on a UHF CB transceiver. The entire length is used for base loading.

7. CB radio in the United States - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CB_radio_in_the_United_States

   Currently VHF military frequencies are more often used (the CAP is part of the US Air Force), as among other reasons, VHF radios are easier to acquire through military logistics than CB radios. Below that is a broadcast auxiliary service band, the 11-meter shortwave band , and the 12-meter amateur band .
