The Foul Weather Whip V2 for fire, SAR and law enforcement. A rugged, hand-built BNC whip for public safety handhelds that won't sag in the cold, thanks to a 1.6 mm NiTinol radiator. Every antenna is hand made and tuned in-house in San Diego, California, by a veteran-owned small business, using components from American small businesses.
