Review on 📡 8" TNP NA-701S High Gain Radio Antenna - SMA Female VHF/UHF (144/430Mhz) Compatibility for BaoFeng, Kenwood, Yaesu Two-Way Ham Radio Walkie Talkies by Payton Stovall

I have an Ailunce HD1 which I think suffered from an awkward accidental relationship with its factory antenna. It was bad enough I thought the radio was just junk. For jokes and laughs, I had a Motorola UHF XPR6550 antenna with the same threads as the HD1, installed it and noticed an immediate improvement in UHF performance. So I threw away the factory antenna and since Motorola's antenna was only UHF I bought an 8" TNP antenna and installed it. to analog, and then to a DFW GMRS repeater about 20 miles away, and as I type this I hear the county sheriff's office, clearly on VHF. The antenna is really good. After about 2 1/2 inches the antenna is really flexible but looks well made. I also like that the kit comes with a rubber washer.
