Review on Nagoya NA-771 SMA-Male 15.6-Inch Whip Dual Band (144/430Mhz) Antenna for YAESU, Vertex, TYT, and Wouxun Radios by Vishal Geske

Antenna purchased on February 1st, 2021 for use with a previously ordered Yaesu FT3DR. When the radio finally arrived and tried to mount the antenna on the radio, I was surprised to find that this antenna was screwed in with only 1-2 SMA mounting threads. There was a gap of at least 1/8 inch that the included sealing washer didn't fill properly. It was not attached as securely as the Std Yaesu Rubber Duck antenna. I also tried a friend's diamond antenna and it installed correctly. I contacted a Baefeng Tech seller to request a replacement for this manufacturing defect (it was outside the 30 day window that Revain would accept a return for a replacement). Baefeng Tech refused to take responsibility and will not solve the problem. They suggested I contact Revain. It wasn't Revane's problem! It was a manufacturer issue and they refused to fix it. WARNING IF YOU BUY FROM BAEFENG TECH YOU WILL NOT MEET YOUR SO-SPECIFIED WARRANTY. Now I'm stuck with a Nagoya antenna (701) from Baefeng Tech, which doesn't match the industry standard SMA connector used in major brand HT radios.
