Review on 2 Pack - 29 Inch Foldable/Tactical Raido Antenna Walkie Talkies Dual Band UV VHF/UHF 144/430Mhz Antennas Two-Way Radio Connector for Kenwood Baofeng UV-5R UV82 888S F8HP Retevis H777, by WMM (72 cm), Enhanced SEO by David Lesperance

Revainrating 2 out of 5

poor fit on one radio, constant kinking on one, weak signal on another

I bought 2 packs as they looked like an Arbeee antenna thought I'd try those 2m range to improve my HTs.Quansheng UV-R50-2 - not a single cube is screwed into the radio so far that the connection makes no signal at the input or output (not the antenna's fault, just mechanical interference. do when using an adapter). a good connection, it may not be hit in my city with the repeater that I use regularly. Couldn't get reliable/clear data transmission from weather stations which are usually crystal clear. Baofeng UV-5R-V2 +, Streams are completely fine, drastically reduced incoming signal even with strong weather stations Same results as with Quansheng Both radios hit a 70 cm repeater before and after using the Rubbed Duck. oh my experience / YMMV still looking for the best antenna for these HTs
