VHF Stubby Antenna with J-Type Connector
Low-Profile Tactical Form Factor for Active Field Duty
Equip your portable transceiver with a rugged, short-profile antenna designed to eliminate catching and snagging on heavy field gear.
The genuine Icom FASC56VS is a high-performance Icom FASC56VS VHF Stubby Antenna for Icom IC-F1100D portables engineered to streamline the physical profile of your hand-held communication gear. Swapping out a standard long whip for the compact Icom FASC56VS lets professionals minimize bulk while retaining factory signal clarity over localized distances. This robust commercial antenna utilizes a specialized heavy-duty core layout to deliver optimal RF propagation across its designated spectrum footprint.
Perfect for public safety personnel, property management crews, warehouse teams, and manufacturing supervisors, the Icom FASC56VS solves the tactile issue of long antennas bending, poking users, or catching on clothing during intense movement. Buyers must recognize that this is a dedicated single-band VHF accessory tuned precisely for the 150 to 162 MHz frequency window. Installing this piece on alternate UHF transceivers will create a severe impedance mismatch, so checking your exact operational license band before outfitting your crew is highly recommended.
The physical base of the Icom FASC56VS is molded with an internal J-type screw threading that fastens flush onto standard Icom universal antenna studs, creating an environmentally sealed barrier against dirt and water ingress. The top tip features an integrated red ring marker, serving as an instant visual shorthand identifier so inventory managers can sort VHF and UHF kits instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the exact length of this short antenna?
The antenna measures approximately three inches in length, which translates to a compact sixty-millimeter physical profile that stays out of the way during intense on-site operations.
Why does the top tip feature a red colored ring?
The integrated red ring acts as a factory color-coded identifier allowing warehouse teams and radio fleet managers to quickly distinguish this specific model from alternative frequency bands at a glance.
Will this antenna reduce my overall operational transmission range?
Because stubby configurations use a shortened internal wire coil compared to standard full-length flexible whips, you will notice a slight reduction in total range footprint, making it ideal for localized facility or campus communication environments.
