Review on 🚤 Bingfu Boat Marine VHF Radio Vehicle Ham Mobile Radio Antenna with Magnetic Base PL259 Male for Garmin Uniden Cobra ICOM Standard Horizon Eclipse Marine Two Way Radio - VHF UHF 136-174MHz 400-520MHz by Reginald Hamilton

I was very impressed with being able to connect this antenna to my 8W UV-9R Plus instead of the standard one while driving around town. From here it goes up and down the hill in every direction. My first test with a standard antenna and two 8W radios showed possible standard distances. I was lucky and kept one radio for myself and gave the rest away for Christmas. After I bought the 5W UV-9R Mate, my second test was with this antenna, on the 8W radio, in my car and the 5W version at home. In all directions, our ability to speak both ways has greatly increased. In some areas, distances have more than doubled.
