Review on Nagoya CB 72 Coil Loaded Magnetic Connector by Andy Mitts

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not suitable for CB or other radio equipment.

This antenna is not even remotely suitable for CB radio or any of the frequency bands listed. The antenna is about 4 inches shorter to be used as a CB antenna. I ended up using a piece of welding wire to replace the top whip and I was able to dial in the SWR, but the coax cable is of such poor quality that any misalignment of cable movement or moving metal objects near the cable will drop the SWR completely would let through. Place. After playing around with it for an hour I just gave up and sent it back. Even if the antenna was the correct length when delivered, the unstable SWR makes it unusable. A piece of junk.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Little things
