Review on πŸ“‘ High Gain 9dBi UHF 70cm Base Antenna featuring 5 Elements for Motorola Repeater Kenwood Baofeng 2-Way Radio - HYS YAGI Antenna UHF 400-470 MHz by Sarah Anderson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best performance requires gas

Hard to beat for the price. I tweaked it and got extreme performance, but after adding Palomar Mix 61 ferrite for the choke I got great results (could also use coax, but impractical for my lmr400 setup). I use this in my attic so I can't confirm it's resistant to the elements, but it's solid enough for my application. Setup was pretty easy. I found the tuning was positioned pretty much right on the edge of the heat shrink tubing to cover both ham radio and GMRS bands.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Annoying
