Review on πŸ“» Bingfu Dual Band Ham Radio Mobile Antenna with Magnetic Base for Car Truck Amateur Radio Marine by Dewitt Bhattacharya

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Do not buy. Very high SWR. May damage the radio.

I measured the SWR (Standard Test Method for Suitability for Use) of this antenna. In most FM segments (range 134-174) the ratio was 9:1 or worse. It was only safe to use between 142.25 and 143.206 MHz. Outside this range your radio may be damaged. I didn't measure the UHF part because the failure of the VHF is enough to deflect this antenna.

Pros
  • Compatible with Ham Radios, Ham Radios, FRS GMRS Radios: BTECH, ICOM, Kenwood, Midland, Yaesu, TYT, AnyTone, Radioddity, Cobra, Uniden, President, Galaxy Audio, Pro Trucker, Stryker;
Cons
