Review on ๐Ÿ“ก HYS NA-771 VHF/UHF Dual Band BNC Handheld Antenna 144/430Mhz for ICOM IC-V85 IC-V82 IC-V80 Walkie Talkie by Kyle Costello

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value for money, robust construction

Best SWR slightly below US bands, but acceptable on US bands (1.6 in range, 1.3 under). Still a much better antenna than the included HT antenna, even by the Big Three. My signal works well in an area not well suited to VHF/UHF - a working APRS allows me to see when I'm departing and from where. Sturdy construction easily withstands flexing and regular handling. If you don't feel like jumping for a comet or diamond, this is a good price. BNC is ideal for regular use between car antenna and this pin without constantly playing with SMA streams. de W8BIT

Pros
  • The NA-771 whip antenna allows you to extend the range of your portable radio, e.g. your Icom radio. This antenna has a signal of 2.15 dBi and a power of up to 10 watts. Length 40 cm, weight 42 grams.
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
