Abstract
A radio apparatus, particularly a radio telephone has an antenna which, rather than extending away from the housing of the apparatus, is bent around the housing to overlap it in a clip-like formation. The antenna acts as a fixed antenna to receive and transmit radio signals but is less vulnerable to damage and breakage their conventional fixed antennas. The antenna also acts a clip enabling the apparatus to be clipped over a pocket or belt.
