Review on 📡 The Survival Antenna: Transforming Your Portable or Vehicle Ham Radio Into a Life-Saving Tool - Find the Perfect Adapter for Yaesu FT-2DR, FT-60R, and FT-1DR-HD by Julio Montano

Arrived very quickly via Fedex The insert has a measured SWR and the frequency it is tuned to 146.021 and an SWR of 1.02. My tests showed almost exactly the same numbers. The high-gain Rubber Ducky RT radio and even the Comet SMA high-gain VHF antenna couldn't even reach nearby repeaters without problems. Today we reach most local repeaters, some of them 30 miles away! pretty good. This is a quality product, well thought out and made. For some problems, it helps to get or use an SMA adapter that prevents the "twisting" that occurs when trying to install a small SMA connector / PL259 adapter. Cable. Also, the definition of "big tree" in Texas is drastically different from "big tree" in the Pacific Northwest ;) I use a good length of bamboo, about 18 feet, which works great. For everyone looking for a great and easy solution to go live, give this a try, you won't be disappointed.
