Review on TWAYRDIO Dual Band Mobile Radio Antenna: 2m/70cm VHF UHF PL259 Low Profile Antenna - Amateur Radio Essential by Justin Verslues

I wasn't expecting much from this antenna, I'm ashamed to admit it. However, after fairly extensive testing with GMRS and a few radio amateurs, this thing is amazing. No setup required. It had a very stressful SWR (between 1 and 2 in all my tests). The transmission power was what the radio stations were supposed to do. The reception worked great. Signal reports were good. Plus, it's a tough, rugged little antenna. Yes, since it's smaller your overall range will be reduced somewhat. It's smaller, though, so you can park in the garage without having to stop and remove the antenna (I hate that).
