Disappointing - Portable Audio Video

First of all, who packs the antenna by folding it almost in half and putting it in an envelope. It wasn't Revane's fault. It was obvious that the original manufacturer/distributor did this. Revane had just slipped a sealed envelope into one of them. Didn't take any shape when opened. He is lethargic and leans to one side. Looks very cheap. Still wanting to try it, I hooked it up to my Yaesu dual band handheld. Didn't manage to hit that many repeaters. One of the repeaters (about 30 miles away) returned with two S modules while my previous antenna returned with four. The best value for money is the Nagoya, also available from Revain: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KC4PWQQ/ ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Spend a few more euros and get a straight antenna included proven performance!

Pros
  • Flexible SMA-F antenna; Length approx. 39 cm
Cons
  • Expensive
