Review on πŸ” Diamond Original NR770HB Dual-Band Mobile Antenna: 144/440 MHz, Gain 3.0/5.5 dBi, PL-259 Connector, Fold Over - Black (38.5" Length) by Heather Smith

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well on CB radios and scanners

Works well for an antenna of this length. Like the other one I have (62" Super Gainer), with a bit of trepidation (expected), I can easily get into one of my repeaters that I use regularly through the Sacramento Valley (East Side of the Valley Foothills <> Bay Area ) arrived had no problems receiving/transmitting. I installed it about halfway down/bottom of the tailgate of one of my SUVs. Works pretty well compared to several other antennas I have that are the same length/height. I use higher antennas but in tight spaces in the woods I sometimes need a little lower height to avoid branches while moving/mobile and this one will work Will keep in the cargo hold - not in the garage like many others stay that i have..seems to be very good quality i tried it today on the freeway and got just a little wind noise but i listened to it otherwise i might not have noticed Check all hex set screws for tightness before use. It comes with a hex wrench (although I always throw them away as I have my good sets). I have no regrets and stay with the car.
