Review on πŸ“‘ 8" TNP NA-701S High Gain Radio Antenna - SMA Female VHF/UHF (144/430Mhz) Compatibility for BaoFeng, Kenwood, Yaesu Two-Way Ham Radio Walkie Talkies by Brian Page

Revainrating 3 out of 5

No better, if not slightly worse than the factory NT antenna.

I got it to replace the antenna on my UV-82. After some tests, I found that the reception was significantly worse than when using the factory antenna. I checked the SWR meter, VHF was a little over 1:2 and UHF was a little over 1:3. The factory antenna worked approximately f/1.8 on VHF and f/2.3 on UHF but slightly shorter in length. 82, wasted my money.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • some disadvantages
