Works great with my Boafeng Radio

Good clear reception. Let's see how long this lasts. Edited: 1/13/19 As of this date and after using them I really like it. Seems better than the ones recommended on Amazon. I like the rubber washer at the base. Screws are clean and tight. I use my radios every day, every day. Highly recommended. In fact, I will be ordering 2 more sets as backups for my field backpacks.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Increased range of my Arcshell AR-6 radio

Good antenna for the price. Used them to extend the range of my Arcshell AR-6 two-way walkie-talkies. The fit is a bit tight due to the thickness of the rubber coating at the base of the antenna where it connects to the radio. But it works great. Increased the range of my walkie-talkies by about a mile (30%). Overall they seem reliable and effective for extending the range of my two-way walkie-talkies.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Functionality

I had the best reception with the supplied rubber duck.

I had better reception using the standard rubber clamp that came with my UV-5R at 2m range. I have two UV-5Rs and used them to do a factory reset, both set to a frequency that I know is a repeater. One 5R had the standard rubber ducky and the other had this antenna. The rubber duck picked up a lot more noise than this antenna. FYI, this antenna is from Luitton and the actual 771 antenna which is the gold standard for portables in the 2m/0.70cm bands is owned by Nagoya. Buy the real deal.

Pros
  • Consistent results in testing
Cons
  • No car

Not good for 2m and 70cm

I bought this antenna for my Baofeng HT. I compared it to the included Baofeng rubber ducky and the aforementioned Diamond SRH-77. The equipment was an Agilent E5072A network analyzer and a copper sheet ground plane. The SWR was measured at 146 and 445 MHz: Baofeng was 2.0 and 3.0. Luiton NA-771 was 3.6 and 2.6. Diamond was 1.8 and 1.1. The resonance for the Luiton was at 124 MHz (SWR 1.2) and 429 MHz (SWR 1.3). If you need an antenna to operate on these frequencies and have an RPSMA connector,

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Secret

Fantastic price

The mechanical performance of this antenna is excellent. Fits well, lightweight yet sturdy. Comes with rubber washers for sealing between antenna and HT. It's flexible enough to easily fit in a backpack. The SWR was 2 for the 2m band. 1.5 for the most used 70cm part 2.5 for the GMRS band (which this antenna is not actually sold for). It's not as much as what you'd get from the Diamond SRJ77CA, but for $15 a pair it's a huge upgrade over the stock Baofeng antenna. I measured both antennas in the

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
