Review on TWAYRDIO High Gain Radio Antenna: 144/430MHz SMA Female Replacement for Baofeng UV-5R GT-3 UV-5RA UV-5RB UV-5RC UV-5RD UV-5RE BF-F8HP UV-82 by Nate Skinner

Good antenna if you want to be heard.

SWR I can't remember exactly but my normal rubber duck was about 2+ at 2m and 3 at 70cm. I bought another brand they say Fix and it was about 1.5 x 2m and another 2+ x 70cm. This antenna was much closer to 1, higher but better than the other, by 2 m and about 1.5 x 70 cm. Of course you have to extend them, but why need an antenna if no one can hear you. This allows me to meet repeaters who haven't heard me before.

Pros
  • CB and talkback radios
Cons
  • Some little things
