ABSTRACT:
An extendable antenna which has a cylindrical antenna guide for slidably retracting a first antenna portion of the extendable antenna into the interior of a housing of a radio transceiver in which the antenna guide is provided at its one end with a cylindrical grounding connection member connected to a grounded portion of the radio transceiver and to be brought into contact with a first contact portion of the antenna when the first antenna portion is retracted into the interior of the housing. The grounding connection member is disposed to contact with the housing so as to face a water drain hole provided in the housing, whereby, when the first antenna portion with rain water attached thereto is retracted into the interior of the housing, the rain water introduced into the antenna guide is guided through the interior of the cylindrical grounding connection member and discharged through the water drain hole of the housing to the outside of the radio transceiver. As a result, intrusion of the rain water into the communication circuit disposed within the housing can be prevented. Further, since the first contact portion is brought into contact with the grounding connection member when the first antenna portion is retracted into the interior of the housing, the communication function of the antenna is not deteriorated.
