Review on NSKI SRH805S Antenna Baofeng BF 888S by Jimmy Hargrove

I already like this antenna because despite its small size it is not annoying! It makes a great "top antenna" for a compact radio so you can pocket it like I did with my UV-5R when I'm on the go. It fits perfectly with the base of the UV-5R antenna, and surprisingly, reception and transmission are not a simple dummy load like some standard antennas! On 888's it fits this reel very well and while on 888's it's snug and snug you'll have to pull it a little tighter until it's difficult to get off easily but that doesn't make it any less secure. Back to "pocket carrying" my UV-5R, it accepts various VHF and UHF repeaters, public safety transmitters, etc. within 5-8 miles but not too much. So if you want to carry around in your pocket I suggest this and maybe something like a Nagoya 771R in your pocket next to it if you suddenly need Rx or Tx when you're away from home. You can't go wrong with the price either.
