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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exceeded my expectations

I really wasn't expecting much from this antenna but I wanted to see for myself. I am very happy with it. The radio reached the repeater more than a dozen miles from the ground floor of the tall building. Power was about 6-7 watts. I've also noticed that the reception is almost identical to my other antennas, including the whip and standard antennas. Since it falls apart for some people, all I can suggest is that you always install and remove it with a tabbed gold base. I can see how twisting or turning off the antenna itself can cause disconnection, but in reality the antenna seems well built and solid to me. 5 Stars.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Negative experience
