Standard Horizon Rubber Duck Antenna

The Standard Horizon Rubber Duck Antenna (CAT460) is a dependable replacement or backup antenna for serious hunters and outdoor communicators who rely on Standard Horizon handheld marine and land mobile radios. After countless seasons in the field, any radio operator knows that antenna durability directly impacts signal reliability—whether you're coordinating with hunting partners across terrain, monitoring weather in remote camps, or maintaining emergency contact in the backcountry. This compact rubber duck design delivers rugged performance in compact form, making it an essential spare to keep on hand.

Built from durable rubber construction, the Standard Horizon Rubber Duck Antenna weighs only 0.06 lbs and measures 8 inches in length, providing a low-profile, impact-resistant alternative to rigid antennas that can snap under field conditions. The rubber duck design flexes and absorbs shock rather than breaking, a critical advantage when radios are packed into rucksacks, dropped on rocky ground, or exposed to brush and branches during a day's hunt. Its threaded base integrates seamlessly with Standard Horizon transceiver connectors, ensuring secure, weatherproof contact and consistent RF performance across frequencies.

This antenna is compatible with current Standard Horizon models including HX300, HX280S, HX290, HX370S, HX400, HX751, and HX851, as well as legacy platforms such as HX270S, HX460, HX500S, HX600S, and HX750S—covering decades of reliable radio platforms. Hunters upgrading older radios or maintaining a mixed fleet of handhelds will appreciate the broad compatibility. The Standard Horizon Rubber Duck Antenna is not compatible with HX470 or HX471 models. Keep a spare in your truck, boat, or field pack to ensure uninterrupted communication when your primary antenna is damaged or lost.
