No loading coil that I can see. Only a spring adapter at the base to
which
I believe is for tension release.

It does have a loading coil somewhere in it. That is the way any mobile
antenna around 3 feet tall works for 10 and 11 meters. It will not work on
2 meters unless you can find the coil, take it out , and then cut it to
about 20 inches.
