SWR at 1.5:1 original

SWR negligible in spec. I cut a 3mm stainless steel rod longer than the original bottom rod and was able to scale it down to 1.01:1 as a GMRS antenna.

Pros
  • audio and video accessories
Cons
  • exorbitant price

SWR was high on the short end

This antenna had a high SWR of 2.65 on the short end. Meaning. I had a spare antenna piece that was slightly longer than the top piece I had installed and tested and the SWR went down to about 1.15.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Not the best

2 meter SWR 4:1 70 cm SWR 3.5:1

I chose these based on reviews, price and next day delivery. After dyno testing, I installed it on my NMO magnet base on the vehicle and the performance was inferior to the rubber ducky in the car. and no problem). The replacement was just as bad (see swr readings above). I ordered the Tram and was thrilled to get the 1.2:1 right out of the box. The same magnetic base and cable. If you need a call, this might be a good antenna for DIY cell phone parts. Summary. Good customer service but useless

Pros
  • Radio Antennas
Cons
  • Infuriates

Pros
  • Antenna height: 16 inches; Direction: omnidirectional;
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Bad antenna.

The antenna was often too short for radio amateurs. Also, the elements weren't thick enough, so the antenna looked crooked when tethered. Very high signal return of 2.80 and impossible to reset. O le, if you replace the bottom element with another, longer element, it may fit.

Pros
  • Antenna mount: NMO mount; I'll write
Cons
  • later
