Not the best for an amateur

I decided to write a useful review about this antenna. For a $12 antenna, it's certainly light and thin. It cannot be reconfigured as the heatsink is pressed against the base and has no set screw. The description says the antenna is rated for 410-490MHz but is actually tuned higher. Below is a list of SWR by frequency: 2:1 - 430MHz 1.5:1 - 446MHz 1.05:1 - 464 - 466MHz 1.5:1 - 485MHz 2:1 - 505MHz This can may be useful to you, but is set up for commercial use. Amateur. Oh, and it's not black, it's chrome, despite what the listing says. Range width 100 MHz, center frequency 465 MHz. The first horizontal division down is about 1.8:1 or -10.5 dBm.
