Review on Bingfu Vehicle 136 174MHz 400 470MHz Connector by Elder Unogu

Short Short antenna. I bought it to put the jeep in the garage. The current antenna (Diamond SSB-680) gets me through less than 80% of driveways and garages, but not into my own garage. This Bingfu antenna is just a squat rubber ducky for mobile use. Works well for local repeaters (less than 10 miles). The SWR is 2.5+ on the average 2 meter band and increases as the frequency increases. Below 145.5, the SWR drops to 1.2/1. Not recommended for high power (10+W) or prolonged use. The reception is comparable to a rubber ducky on HT. Very limited on the simplex. can be used for local repeaters. I knew that antenna was limited
