Review on πŸ“» WishRing HH-9000 High Gain Quad-Band Mobile Radio Antenna for Tyt Wouxun - 10/6/2m/70cm by Stephen Johnson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Decent antenna, few defects

I get a decent SWR on all 4 bands with this antenna. Make sure you mount this as high on your car as possible and keep it clean. I tried mounting it on the side and couldn't get the SWR below 4:1, went on the roof and got better than 1.3:1 at 10m, 1.2:1 at 6m, 1.00 :1 at 2m, 1.2:1 at 70cm. The folding feature is both a blessing and a curse, great for low clearance areas, easy to lift and fold, but on the negative side, when driving off-road, bouncing around resulted in the antenna collapsing more than once. its own kill signal propagation: today while driving on the freeway, this antenna folded up by itself every 10-15 miles, this happened 3 times, and after the 3rd time it happened almost immediately after traffic resumed, the device definitely has some problems with quality. I ended up gluing the top fold piece to the tube it sits in and it held up much better, but ended up folding back up. Unfortunately this is outside the exchange period and I think I'll have to come up with another solution.
