Review on πŸ“» 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 Andrew Kamkoff

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works well -- Item exchange took a little longer than expected!

Works well, reception is not as good as other "broadband" SDR (dipole) antennas, but easier to hit metal and quick to set up. Probably *one antenna works better above 1GHz and *others below, but I can't say for sure if one is an improvement over the other. (*=three antennas included, these are the other two short fixed length antennas) The first unit shipped had a telescopic antenna with the wrong thread size so it didn't fit. From ordering to having the device working it took too long and I'm losing a star for taking the time to get it right. I worked with Revain to exchange an item and it took 3 weeks to receive what should have taken a week. * One star deducted for the time it took to get a replacement * One star deducted for so-so reception.

Pros
  • The base of the antenna is made of thick metal for strength and durability. Includes a full 1 year warranty direct from Nooelec!
Cons
  • Negative present
