Mistakes to Avoid when Purchasing a Military Antenna
Choosing an omnidirectional antenna may be the wrong choice!
Omnidirectional antennas, often considered standard elsewhere, may not be the best for tactical communications. Communication intended for friendly forces is easily intercepted when broadcast in all directions. Directional antennas can help avoid this.
