Review on HYS 136 174Mhz Connector Magnetic Portable by Brian Rivenbark

Revainrating 1 out of 5

not 2M antenna, other questions

is not a 2M antenna; came a box that said '155MHz' giving the antenna a star in the marine VHF band, the antenna is not adjustable; There is no way to extend the antenna to allow 2M to use another sprocket, the thin rubber base for the magnet mount falls off, can't stay attached to another nearby sprocket, the magnet mount is too small in diameter to attach securely to be used in a vehicle. - less than 3 inches! On the other star, if you don't live near the water and don't want to receive VHF, cut an inch off the antenna (the bulb on the end comes off) and you have a 162MHz antenna. Range - perfect for NOAA WX frequencies, this antenna is not as advertised

Pros
  • 155MHz (136-174MHz) magnetic base antenna works for SO239 VHF cellular.
Cons
  • Zero
