"The Squad Leader" Wearable Antenna
CAATail Antennas are handcrafted (USA), flexible antennas that are worn on the user's plate carrier or ruck. The antenna was designed and field tested around VHF/UHF squad internal communications. "The Squad Leader" is tipped with a TNC connector, increasing its durability over "The RTO's" BNC connector. "The Squad Leader" is more robust but lacks in the modularity and QD a BNC connector provides. The v2 model offers increased UHF performance and a triple abraded PET sleeve for extra cable protection. Unlike other wearable antenna options, "The Squadleader" has a multi-layered protective shell comprised of adhesive, metal locking ring, glue lined heat-shrink, and a bend boot. When configuring the antenna, route the cable either over your shoulder or along your cummerbund and make a "U" shape on the back of your plate carrier. Ensure that the antenna is placed over your hydration source. Plan on only using your antenna in a 90° configuration? Check out the "Dedicated 90° TNC-M Antenn
