Review on Radtel Foldable Tactical Antenna 18 Inch with SMA-Female Connector, Dual Band UHF/VHF (134-176/400-520Mhz) - Ideal for Baofeng UV-5R, UV-82, UV-9R, BF-F8HP, UV-82HP Kenwood Ham Radios by Anna Kaye

I sat down and swapped the stock antenna for this one because I couldn't believe it. That's almost three times longer than my normal antenna. It includes a rubber O-ring. Tried at least 4 times with each option with and without sweep. I can state 100% without a doubt that this antenna is absolute rubbish. Couldn't even pick up a Noaa repeater. It's always loud and clear with my standard antenna.
