Review on ๐Ÿ“ก Enhanced Midland 6 dB Gain Antenna: Sturdy Spring Base, NMO Connection - Compatible with MicroMobile MXT105, MXT115, MXT275, MXT400 by Joe Mix

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Disappointing antenna

The GMRS antenna must operate in the 462-469MHz band. This is not. After trying different mounting locations, the SWR ranged from 2.01 to 2.78. To make matters worse, the analyzer shows the minimum SWR was above 470MHz - AFTER extending the pin as much as possible. (should be at 465.5 MHz) This antenna is too short. If Midland would make it even an inch longer, it could be trimmed to perfection. Instead, they have a short stick. If you need a decent GMRS antenna, look elsewhere.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Must have for any Midland GMRS high output radio. Highly recommend the magnetic base.
