Zip Zap Zop - A radio antenna worth its salt!

I'll cut to the chase. If you own a Yaesu, TYT, or Wouxun handheld portable radio and are looking for a dual-band VHF UHF antenna for 2m/70cm frequencies, Zip Zap Zop is the one to go for! I had been using a different antenna with my FT-70DR, and the difference Zip Zap Zop made was like day and night. The quality of sound, range, and coverage improved significantly. The SMA male base antenna is super easy to install, and the build is solid. I've used it in tactical scenarios, backwoods hiking, and even urban settings, and it has never let me down. As a cherry on the top, it's reasonably priced compared to other options out there. If you're serious about your handheld radios and want to get the most out of them, Zip Zap Zop is the only way to go!

Pros
  • High-Quality Reception: With a frequency range of 136-174MHz and 400-470MHz, these antennas provide excellent coverage, ensuring that you receive crisp and clear audio signals, even in challenging terrain
Cons
  • Short Range
