Review on High-Quality Dual Band UV VHF/UHF Walkie Talkie Antennas by LUITON - 15.6-Inch Whip, SMA-F Connector (2 Pack) by Kenneth Murphy

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fantastic price

The mechanical performance of this antenna is excellent. Fits well, lightweight yet sturdy. Comes with rubber washers for sealing between antenna and HT. It's flexible enough to easily fit in a backpack. The SWR was 2 for the 2m band. 1.5 for the most used 70cm part 2.5 for the GMRS band (which this antenna is not actually sold for). It's not as much as what you'd get from the Diamond SRJ77CA, but for $15 a pair it's a huge upgrade over the stock Baofeng antenna. I measured both antennas in the box and they came out almost identical, so quality control seems good. Overall I'm impressed with the quality of the antenna, especially for the price. Lost a star because I feel they could have gotten better SWR on 2m.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
