Does anyone make a telescoping HT antenna meant to operate (1/4 wave)
over a broad band of frequencies with marking for those frequencies?


I think I saw one that was advertised as 1/4 wave on 70cm when closed,
1/4 wave on 2m when fully extended. Can't remember the brand, or where
I saw it, though.

Radio Shack sells one. I have one, but I wouldn't want to hang it on
an HT connector. Too heavy. I use it on a Bearcat scanner.

I can agree with Dick... I have 2 such Radio Shack antennas. I use one for
my Service Monitor, the other is for any other test purpose I may have, NOT
for replacement for an H.T. A tad too heavy. They were heavy for like the
HTX 202, if you used it on one of the micro radios out now days, the thing
would be top heavy.
