Review on ANLI DC-124H TriBand NMO Mobile Ham Radio Antenna- 2M/222/440Mhz for Enhanced Performance by Chad Delgado

This is the second Anli 124 I own. The first existed for many years and was unshakable. He finally died in me. Decided to replace with the same antenna. Makes sense right? Should the second one be the same as the old one? Not correct. My original was all black, this new one was chrome. When it arrived it was too damn cold to put the SWR outside. I've spent the last 2 hours getting the SWR below 2:1 at 146.50. No matter how I set it, it never goes below 2:1 and is worse at both ends of the 2m band. Terrible. on 440 it's 1:7 on 446. I'm not sure what's wrong but I can assure you this will be my last Anli antenna. Sure my return range expired 2 days ago so I'm stuck on this thing. This is my evil. But. Don't expect SWR to be accurate on you.
