Review on ๐Ÿ“ป Optimized Falcon 2 Meter Dipole Ham Radio Antenna for Amateur Radio Enthusiasts by Marcus Consumers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fantastic little dipole, well built

This is an amazing little dipole, I installed it under the trees and on deck to really test it and it worked very well. I have two 2m repeaters that I can hit from home at 10.6 and 10.7 miles with my Baofeng UV-5R paired with a Nagoya NA-771, but sometimes I can't. This dipole made that clear. It could probably benefit from a setup, but I bought it for portability and it gets the job done. I tested it at ground level with an 18ft barrel of RG-58. I've also noticed an improvement of 70cm. Use the 550 paracord as a tether, the holes in the insulators are perfect for this. The instructions are very clear and simple for those who may not understand how a dipole works. I would have given it 5 stars but the silicone used on the case at the base of the elements has already started to peel right out of the box. I used some good 3m Temflex tape to seal it so it's fine now. Also don't be fooled by the packaging picture, the items are not as long as they seem, I suspect this is most likely a 6m setup, the items are the correct length for 2m.

Pros
  • Accessories and supplies
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
