Review on πŸ”οΈ X50A Diamond Original 144/440 MHz Dual Band Base Antenna - UHF Connector, 5.6 FT - Superior Performance and Versatility by Kathy King

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy to install and very portable if desired.

Very pretty antenna. It's lightweight and easy to install. I hooked it up to an existing TV antenna mast with a 5 foot pole, giving me an overall height of 35 feet at the base. I use it with Baofeng HP-82HP and scanner. I can connect to 2m repeaters at quite a distance. I can hear police and state patrols over 50 miles away even though the antenna is not tuned to those frequencies. This antenna can be used as a portable device when camping or at events. I would not recommend installing it permanently on a vehicle due to wind resistance.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Suitable for
