Large HUGE Antenna on AV Accessory

This is for a very long folding antenna. Hard materials along with the processing results in a big jump on the Rx and Tx side. Remember that this antenna will never stand up on its own, but the gooseneck allows you to quickly change polarity depending on the situation.

Pros
  • If your radio model isn't compatible, see my other listing or send us your model number and we'll help find the right one for you. (Baofeng UV- 9R UV-82WP UV-XR Plus GT-3WP UV-5RWP etc. The waterproof radio is not suitable for AR-152G antenna. If you want to buy a suitable waterproof radio antenna, you can search the link: https ://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TC5WTYL?ref=myi_title_dp.)
Cons
  • I'll write later

The connector is by far the weakest link

The problem with this and most other antennas is the connector. The gooseneck and folding section do what they are supposed to do, but the connection is far from perfect and the individual parts are not equipped with separate connections. You may get one that works perfectly, but that hasn't been my experience.

Pros
  • Frequency: 144/430 MHz, gain: 3.0 dBi. Connector Type: SMA Jack
Cons
  • Very expensive

It's big but works great.

I bought this as a joke to be out and about. I saw the reviews on YouTube and everyone said it was the real deal. I got mine and tried it right away. I walked to the next hill and was able to talk to a repeater about 30 miles away with no problem. Even the shortened duck antenna was a big improvement over the standard uv5r antenna. Anyone who can do without an oversized antenna will love it. Of course, I knew the size before I ordered it.

Pros
  • Accessories and consumables
Cons
  • Only available in black
