Review on High Performance VHF/UHF 2M/70CM BNC Handheld Radio Antenna (HYS-771N) for ICOM Radio V8 V80 V80E V82 V85 F3S HT-66 by Jamie Clark

Excellent antenna for the money. Tested better than my Diamond RH77CA. The SWR is stable around 1.10-1.40 on all VHF. The hardware is more secure and the construction is thicker than the Diamond. It just seems to be the best all round antenna. With an Icom V86 I could hit repeaters at 35 miles at 7 watts no problem. HYS may only be $10, but it works better than $30 on my HTs. This is a good replacement for your rubber duck. Come on, try it, you'll like it.- KO4IJN
