The RatTail Antenna Booster is a patented device invented by Ian, Barbara and Ed, that clips to emergency radios as a means to triple the maximum distance of clear communication. We are happy you found us here on FaceBook and want you to know a little more about our remarkable device. The RatTail Antenna Booster is a product that has the ability to assist your radio communications by three-fold!
Our RatTail is a tiny device that increases your effective radiated power of hand held radios to often triple their range of communication, perfect for many emergency situations when communication ability might save a life. It simply attaches to a handheld radio and increases it's radiated power dramatically - great for boaters, rescue workers and aircraft communication. How it works:
When the RatTail Antenna Booster is attached, a 5 watt handheld radio becomes effectively like a 15 or 20 watt radio, increasing its ability to get a signal through. We have measured an increase in transmitted energy of 9 to 12db (800% – 1600%) when measured at a distance of 2 kilometers or more. This increase results from a transformation of your radio’s 1/4 wave vertical antenna to a 1/2 wave dipole antenna. Thus more energy is delivered to the horizon. This makes it very useful for emergency rescue operations where rescue workers are having difficulty getting their message through to a base station. Boaters will double their range from a small craft to land. Find out more about this powerful little guy and how to order him at our website: http://rattailantenna.com/
Thank you so much for taking the time to find us and we look forward to assisting you with the significant improvement of your hand radio communications! Warm regards,
Ian Soutar and Ed Haslam (creators of the RatTail and owners of Microsec Research and Developement Inc.)
