Abstract
A retractable antenna for a communication device having an antenna receptacle includes a whip portion, including a conductive rod, and a connector, which includes a base portion of the conductive rod that is formed so as to be received and retained by the receptacle. Preferably, the base portion is bent so as to have a radial outer dimension greater than a radial inner dimension of the receptacle, so that the base portion is compressed radially when it is received by the receptacle.
