YDC Tech YT-L71 15.6" Elite Whip Dual Band Antenna (SMA-Female)

Premium Performance. Unbreakable Design.

If you push your gear to the absolute limit, standard rigid antennas will eventually snap under pressure. The YDC Tech YT-L71 Elite Whip is engineered specifically for operators who demand maximum transmitting range but require an antenna that can survive dense brush, heavy impacts, and extreme outdoor environments.

Measuring nearly 16 inches long, this high-gain, dual-band antenna delivers an incredible boost to both your transmitting distance and your reception clarity over factory "rubber duck" antennas. However, its true advantage lies in its "Elite Whip" construction. The shaft is incredibly soft, allowing it to bend heavily and instantly spring back to true zero without damaging the SMA-Female connector or losing its internal tuning.
