Minimus: Unbreakable 70cm HT Antenna (440 MHz, BNC)

Minimus Unbreakable 70cm NiTi HT Antenna (440 MHz, BNC)

Minimus is the 440 MHz handheld BNC option in Iron Spear’s NiTi HT line — for operators who want UHF/70cm focus instead of dual-band 2m/70cm. Same Idaho build and flexible NiTi/nitinol approach; different band SKU. “Unbreakable” = NiTi spring-back / daily-carry, not mil-spec. For dual-band HT see Maximus; for 155/465 see Guardian; for mobile NMO see Maximus Mobile. Collection: ham radio antennas. Connectors: Handheld Radio Adapter Guide.

• Standard BNC: Swap it on. Adapters are on the store if your radio is SMA.

Engineered for 70cm

• UHF only: If your work is 70cm, you want an element that is actually tuned for 440.
• Same armor as Maximus: Snake, Dual Color Expedition, OD Green, Brown, Black, Orange, Red, Blue.
• Durable construction: Bend it, twist it, crush it through the brush. It returns to form.
• Broad radio compatibility: Standard BNC for handhelds. Baofeng, Retevis, Anytone, Yaesu, Quansheng, Wouxun, Btech, Tidradio, and others with BNC or an adapter.

The Minimus is the 70cm antenna for anyone who wants Iron Spear NiTi on UHF without running dual-band.

Don't settle for a stock whip. Demand Minimus.
