A tall antenna can catch on brush and low branches or get in the way when an off-road vehicle enters a toy hauler. Removing an antenna for travel also creates a risk of transmitting without it and damaging the radio. Universal fit - not built for one specific make or model, so confirm mounting space and wiring on your machine before ordering. The Rugged Radios Stealth VHF antenna stands 3.25 inches tall and uses a standard NMO mount. Its short profile clears low spaces while supporting transmit and receive communication within a few miles.
