Review on πŸ“‘ 8" TNP NA-701S High Gain Radio Antenna - SMA Female VHF/UHF (144/430Mhz) Compatibility for BaoFeng, Kenwood, Yaesu Two-Way Ham Radio Walkie Talkies by Louis Asok

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect fit for my Baofeng UV-9, just bought a second one. Also goes well with my BF-A58 unit

I was looking for an 8 inch antenna to match this type of radio. Most other NA-701's were too big for the base, this one fits perfectly, a little tight, but it fits without modifications. It replaced the stock V-85 antenna, which wasn't as flexible as this or other NA-701s. As for the SWR measurements, judging by the manufacturer. I can however meet all the repeaters that the V-85 did, good input as I've been told that the reception of various signals, both UHF and VHF, was the same or better, so it works. I've tried several NA-701 antennas and this is the only one that screws in perfectly. Most others would require me to cut off about 1/4 of the base to make them small enough to screw in.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Security
