Review on 📻 Enhanced RaTLSnake M6 v2 - Ultimate 3-Antenna Bundle for Top-notch Software Defined Radios. Cutting-Edge Magnetic Whip Antenna Set with Low-Loss RG58 Cable and 50 Ohm SMA Connectors by Bob Jensen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Don't let the antenna mythology fool you! This is very much!

Excellent antennas! Definitely superior to the NOOELEC kit included in the NESDR Smart kit, but still far superior to the kit included in the competitor kit. First, this magnetic mount is much heavier and includes an M5 bolt (the M3 bolt is included in the SMART kit) and a telescoping antenna and two tuned whip antennas. The frequency ranges of both "plugs" are clearly documented by NOOOELEC, but I found the one with the blue O-rings worked very well at UHF frequencies as well. This is still the best value for money. Haven't tried the magnetic mounts on a moving vehicle but they are AWESOME on a hotel fridge!

Pros
  • Redesigned for 50 ohms to maximize compatibility with commonly used radios and reduce SWR inconsistencies. The base has been redesigned to improve communication and ground plane shielding compared to v1.
Cons
  • Something is wrong
