2. Very high frequency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_high_frequency

   The VHF band is the first band at which efficient transmitting antennas are small enough that they can be mounted on vehicles and portable devices, so the band is used for two-way land mobile radio systems, such as walkie-talkies, and two way radio communication with aircraft and ships (marine radio).

3. Land mobile radio system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_mobile_radio_system

   Land mobile radio systems use channels in the VHF or UHF bands, since the antennas used at these short wavelengths are small enough to mount on vehicles or handheld transceivers. Transmitter power is usually limited to a few watts, to provide a reliable working range on the order of 3 to 20 miles (4.8 to 32 km) depending on terrain.

4. Mobile radio - Wikipedia

   The walkie talkie inserted into a vehicular charger or converter while the user is in the vehicle. The charger or converter (1) connects the walkie talkie to the vehicle's two-way radio antenna, (2) connects an amplified speaker, (3) connects a mobile microphone, and (4) charges the walkie talkie's battery.

   These antenna configurations are more common on merchant ships. A handheld amateur VHF radio transceiver ready for "maritime mobile" use on a 28' yacht. For VHF and UHF operation, one option is to mount a small Yagi antenna to a pole 1–2 m (3–6 ft) long and haul this to the masthead using a flag halyard. If the halyard is correctly knotted ...

6. Ultra high frequency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_high_frequency

   UHF wavelengths are short enough that efficient transmitting antennas are small enough to mount on handheld and mobile devices, so these frequencies are used for two-way land mobile radio systems, such as walkie-talkies, two-way radios in vehicles, and for portable wireless devices; cordless phones and cell phones.

7. Rubber ducky antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_ducky_antenna

   The rubber ducky antenna (or rubber duck aerial) is an electrically short monopole antenna, invented by Richard B. Johnson, that functions somewhat like a base-loaded whip antenna. It consists of a springy wire in the shape of a narrow helix , sealed in a rubber or plastic jacket to protect the antenna. [ 1 ]
