Review on πŸ“‘ HYS Outdoor Yagi Antenna: Long Range UHF 7dbi Aerial + U-Type Mounting Bracket - Ideal for Handheld Radio, Mobile Radio, Repeater, and Other UHF 400-470Mhz Devices by Ben Almasri

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The range is the same as my dipole.

To be honest I'm not quite sure what I was expecting. The antenna is tiny compared to what I expected. My tram dipole has the same range and covers not only one direction but the whole circle. It looks thin when folded and unfolded. No assembly is required, at least with what I got. It also lacks any SWR tuning tools that require a properly sized hex wrench. I don't have a reliable SWR meter to even check what it's running on. So who knows if it will match standard ATM during testing. For that price I would like a 9 decibel antenna if the antenna is so small, 9db would probably be the size of a yagi tape measure and would probably be worth your money judging by the looks. I cannot recommend this product and I feel torn. I doubt I can hit the satellites with it.

Pros
  • Antennas
