2m performance awesome

2 Counter transmit and receive properties not valid. 440 performance is good. When tested with VNA, LogMag and SWR were good at 440MHz, but results at 144-148MHz were far from perfect. Since I bought it for 2M in the first place, it's useless to me.

Pros
  • Package Include: 1PC TC40UV Outdoor Antenna, 1PC Mounting Bracket.
Cons
  • Band

You get what you pay for

You get what you pay for. The antenna is very small. The SWR didn't seem very good to me for the tests I ran. I wouldn't buy this antenna again but save some money and get a good base antenna. Update: After further testing, the SWR was around 1.5 on VHF and around 2.5 on UHF.

Pros
  • The HYS TC-40UV can operate on both UHF and VHF bands. It can be used with most dual-band cellular transmitters.
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Pros
  • Maximum input power 100W / 2.5dBi / 15.7in length/connector: SO239 (UHF female SL16 female)
Cons
  • Exorbitant price
