Review on High-Quality Dual Band UV VHF/UHF Walkie Talkie Antennas by LUITON - 15.6-Inch Whip, SMA-F Connector (2 Pack) by Jeff Rubio

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I had the best reception with the supplied rubber duck.

I had better reception using the standard rubber clamp that came with my UV-5R at 2m range. I have two UV-5Rs and used them to do a factory reset, both set to a frequency that I know is a repeater. One 5R had the standard rubber ducky and the other had this antenna. The rubber duck picked up a lot more noise than this antenna. FYI, this antenna is from Luitton and the actual 771 antenna which is the gold standard for portables in the 2m/0.70cm bands is owned by Nagoya. Buy the real deal.

Pros
  • Consistent results in testing
Cons
  • No car
