It's their TSE-RF-SAT-HH. Thats about the smallest one ive come across. I believe the cost is somewhere in between $4-5K. The manufacturer and one of there sales reps told us they where using it in configured inside a rucksack moving in the Bragg area with great results. However they are trying to sell it so take what you will from that evaluation. The cheapest and not suprisingly best working antenna that I've heard about from fellow communicators is the home made version, which is posted in the 18E forum. I've yet to use one myself but i've heard it works great mounted or dismounted and is probrably about as low profile as you can get. The ABP antenna also works just as good as say a AV-2055 and it packs up pretty small but once it's extended the TSE handheld has it beat pretty well on smaller size. Hope this info helped

Vehicle mount is what I need, and a ghetto-rigged box isn't exactly covert.
