<p>New stub on a common term</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{stub}}<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Rubber duck&#039;&#039;&#039; is a slang term given to the flexible rubber antennas supplied with hand held [[transceiver]]s. <br /> <br /> The term is somewhat derogatory since those types of antennas are generally inexpensive and at times inefficient. They are intended to get a new radio on the air as quickly as possible, but are easily replaced by higher quality antennas. <br /> <br /> [[Category:Antennas]]</div>
