Review on ๐Ÿ“ป Optimized Baofeng GT-3 UV-5R BF-888s Radio Dual Band SRH805S SMA-F Antenna with Female Connector by Mike Diaz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works just as well as standard Baefong 440 Mhz, not so well at lower frequencies. It is mono band rather than dual band.

Works well at 448MHz, like the original Baofeng antenna, but of course VERY small. It would be like reducing power by 90 percent. I have attached 4 pictures. You will see 2 for 146.550MHz and 2 more for 448. At 448MHz the RF antenna signal for the spectrum analyzer is very similar to that of a standard dual band Baofeng. At a distance of 2 meters, you can see that the signal is significantly lower than the standard Baofeng antenna. I think for 440MHz operation this could be a good choice for those who only need the UHF band.

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Mostly good, but...
