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 Emily Wilson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent dual band antenna

Best value for money. Excellent construction. Close connection. Very low SWR on VHF and UHF. I tested 2 of these antennas on Realistic HTX-202 2m Radio, Realistic HTX-404 UHF Radio and Realistic BTX-121 MURS Green Dot Radio. I found SWR <1.5 on all three radios. For comparison: SWR of the factory ducks > 3 for all three radios. Don't let OCD reviews get to you. Any SWR <2.5 on HT is phenomenal. Premium Motorola ship with antennas with SWR >4.
