Review on πŸ“‘ Enhance Your Communication with Retevis Walkie Talkie Antenna – Dual Band 144/430Mhz SMA-F Soft Whip Antenna for Retevis RT5R RT29 Baofeng BF-F8HP UV-5R 888S 2 Way Radio (1 Pack) by Michael Jennings

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's hard to be disappointed - actually impossible.

When I bought this antenna it was not working properly. It was worse than the rubber ducky that came with my radio. I gave it a bad rating and wrote it off as a bad buy on my part. The seller was very insistent on fixing the problem and I was very insistent on writing it off and letting it go. For the price it wasn't worth the hassle. I received an unsolicited replacement antenna in the mail today. It differs slightly in appearance and model number. It is actually a different antenna. It works beautifully, better compared to my base station antenna than I would have expected from a portable whip. Don't hesitate to buy again the antenna I originally ordered knowing that one way or another it will work very well.

Pros
  • Gain 2.15dB; maximum power 20W; this helps improve transmission and reception
Cons
  • Something else
