🔁 Bingfu UHF 400-470MHz Two Way Radio Antenna Replacement Walkie Talkie SMA Female Short Antenna 2-Pack for BaoFeng BF-888S, Arcshell AR-5 AR-6 AR-7, Retevis H-777 H-777S, Kenwood FRS Radio Review

Works better than expected. I used them on a fox hunting transmitter. In fact, I tried to make the radio as inefficient as possible. Transmission reception was solid over 1000 meters (set in a plastic ammo can at low power on a Baofeng UV-5R radio). A twisted way of saying these are sturdy little antennas if you're looking for something shorter than a standard rubber duck but still capable of operating at a decent range.

Save Money and Skip This. I don't know what to tell you because my search continues. I WILL SAY DON'T BUY THIS. You get 2 for $8. For the price I should have known better. Super comfortable in size. Not even as long as a toothpick, but if you can't, then. I tried it on baofeng uv5r and also on baofeng btf9v2+ and on my btech DMR-6X2. They all suck. I can walk about half a mile. If this. Unfortunately this is too good to be true. My search continues.

Don't expect this antenna to go far and don't expect it to work on VHF. I installed these antennas on two different analyzers (RigExpert AA-600 and nanoVNA). Both SWR at 2 m > 20 or more. At UHF, the SWR is about 1.3 at about 440MHz and about 1.8 at about 460MHz. I bought them for UHF so I don't mind that they aren't dual band but if you buy this antenna hoping to use it on VHF you will probably be disappointed. I bought these to mount a pair of UV-5Rs at 70cm for very close simplex…

They are really small but very elegant. I bought 2. One of them had a very high SWR and the other was fine. When I rotate the antenna you hear a "buzz" so they are dainty. I'll probably try opening the one with the high SWR to see if I can get something better out of it. I would recommend testing them out before messing around with the transmitter like I did. I really don't like writing bad reviews, but I also don't like buying a UHF antenna and then ruining the transmitter because I used an…

I love this little antenna. Judging by the performance, it was the comet's antenna. It works almost as well as the stock antenna on my UV-R50 and fits perfectly. I have. 16" Titanium whip and this little thing compares. I can hit my local repeater as well as one over 50 miles away. Of course this one is on a 400ft tower and is a true repeater beast. However, it proves, that the SWR has to be excellent to get my measly 5 watts this far. I didn't check the SWR as it passed my first test (hitting…

I expected a little more from these guys. I thought they were soft plastic like a regular rubber ducky but they are hard plastic. I bought 4 packs and one antenna broke at the bottom when a heavy object fell on it. As for the radiation, I knew it wasn't good for anything other than "housework." The resonant frequency is about 436MHz and the SWR at that frequency is about 1:2.5 and looks like a 100 ohm load. At 450MHz it looks like a 50 ohm load, but not purely resistive, and the SWR seems to go
