Review on High Performance VHF/UHF 2M/70CM BNC Handheld Radio Antenna (HYS-771N) for ICOM Radio V8 V80 V80E V82 V85 F3S HT-66 by Robert Tirona

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good antenna is the best. Antennas

After realizing that my calibration failed on my Nano VNA I have to go through this review again. After proper calibration I found the SWR of this antenna to be quite acceptable. SWR is a little less than 2 on VHF but very low (less than 1.2 on 440) on UHF. Compared to several other antennas I found it to have the lowest SWR at UHF of all. It seems that this antenna really makes a difference on the UHF side, at least on the DMR. However, VHF doesn't seem to be that strong. I will say that I think it is a good antenna and I apologize to the seller for any misunderstanding that my previous review may have given. Given the quality construction and reasonable SWR. Reading, should I update my rating and give the antenna more stars. Seems to be a good antenna.

Pros
  • Antennas
Cons
  • Expensive
