Review on πŸ“» Baofeng UV-5R 5RE Plus 5RA 5RB 5RC 5RD 6.7Inch Dual Band U/V SMA-Female Antenna - Original BaoFeng 136-174/400-520MHz Antenna (2Pack) by James Broome

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not original but seems ok

Bought 2 and slightly different compared to the original: slightly longer, smoother plastic structure, the label on the bottom is different. But SWR was 1.3 on VHF and 1.1 on UHF so they should work fine. Didn't compare actual range to original. I seem to have a few good ones, luckier than other buyers. But I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a chance to test the ones you have with either an SWR meter or a network analyzer like the NanoVNA (which I bought from Revain and really like).

Pros
