Review on πŸ“» Optimized Baofeng GT-3 UV-5R BF-888s Radio Dual Band SRH805S SMA-F Antenna with Female Connector by Jay Maryland

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great antenna for local use and almost indestructible.

This is essentially a dummy radiation load. If your expectations are reasonable, you will love it. If you're expecting it to work as a full-size antenna, you'll be disappointed. I spend most of my time within two miles of a local repeater so this is a great antenna for local use in my daily carry. When I leave the city, I switch to a longer antenna. While doing this I was at the local UHF repeater with total silence from a location 10 miles from the tower at 5 watts. Keep your expectations reasonable and you won't regret adding these to your antenna collection.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Expensive
