Review on πŸ“» Baofeng UV-5R 5RE Plus 5RA 5RB 5RC 5RD Antenna: Original Dual Band 136-174/400-520MHz U/V SMA-Female (Black) by Ivan Carson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good $6 replacement for the stock antenna; good for rubber duck.

I have no idea how long it will last but this antenna works subjectively and according to the test I saw on the internet (replaces the original UV-5R antennas with PD0AC), much better than rubber duck of the old sample. One of mine broke and had to be replaced. I bought it a month ago for $6 and have used it very little except for listening to FM radio which makes it good. It fits uv-5r very well and is a good replacement; Only use an old rubber cleat as a replacement.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • General information
