A high-performance, field-tested antenna built for serious backcountry communications.

A Rare, Limited-Run NRS Partnership

We secured a very small batch of Maximus Antennas from Iron Spear Outfitters customized with the NRS logo. These antennas are widely respected for durable construction and outstanding range in real-world terrain.

This is a limited edition item. Once these are gone, they are gone for good.
