Signal Dropout Ruins Communication Quality

This CB & Two-Way Radio Electronics product is a total ripoff, the dual antenna feature might sound impressive but it is completely useless. The radio constantly drops signals which makes communication unreliable and frustrating. The product is poorly constructed and the antennas do not work as expected. The only pro is that the device is lightweight and portable. The cons, however, outweigh the pros and I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone.

Pros
  • Dual antenna allows for improved signal quality and coverage.
Cons
  • Installation can be challenging for those with limited technical expertise.

Missing parts best in CB and radio equipment

I can't tell you how this antenna works because I can't even install it! The antenna arrived without the socket head screw that attached the top element to the bottom element. Useless. You either have to find the right adjusting screw on site or send it in for replacement. Dissatisfied!

Pros
  • Portable audio and video
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Ideal Results - CB and Radio

I live in a HOA that is sensitive to external antennas so I painted it a camouflage pattern and it goes well with the trees behind. It is installed with a radial beam chimney mount just below the chimney top so the overall height is about 7 feet above the chimney top. I hooked it up to 70 feet of 50 ohm coax and got an SWR of f/1.2.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Large and Bulky
