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 Jason Flippen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

For best performance you need a throttle

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 setup with lmr400). 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
  • a handy part
Cons
  • I don't like it that much, everything is fine
