Right now Smiley Antenna’s has a “deal of the day” today on their 160MHz slim duck. Not too bad, at all! For the newbie, these will greatly improve reception on your handheld scanners for the rail band.

Your link goes to a 465 MHz mini rubber duck.
The 160 MHz slim duck doesn't appear to have any price discount.

The link worked yesterday. I picked up the 160MHz with the discount.
The link directed properly for me. However, the deal on that specific antenna was/is for yesterday and the rest of today only.
And its the 5/8 wave 9" Slim Duck that is the one that was the DotD. The regular 7" Slim Duck is always 20 bucks. 5/8 SD 6db gain vs normal SD at 3 db gain... I think the extra 4 bucks is worthy of that.
as someone who uses them on fire radios, they are excellent antennas, and if you're only monitoring frequencies across a tiny bandwidth (like AAR frequencies) its probably going to be an improvement.
