Rubber Ducky Antenna

I need a rubber ducky antenna for a 139MHZ radio. Does anyone know what the specs for this particular application should be?

Rubber ducky antennas often don't have a very high Q, you might be able to get away with a rubber ducky for the 2 meter ham band which should be readily available.
