Review on 📻 Compact iSaddle Short Antenna for BaoFeng UV-5R and More: Enhance Your Two Way Radio Performance by Scott Holland

I've had it for about 3 months now. It came in diamond packaging and is marked as such, but it is a fake. (Verified by Diamond) It's small and compact, but that's where its goodness ends. It doesn't work very well. With TX, even with a close range crossing or HT simplex, this is marginal as often even your body is enough to block the signal. RX is fine when it's a strong signal, but even then it's choppy at times. And forget it once you're inside. I bought a real Diamond, the same Style 2 copies. It's light years better and frankly better than a standard antenna. Spend a few bucks more for the original.
