📡 HYS CS Tactics Antennas – 18.7 Inch Gooseneck and Foldable Dual Band UV VHF/UHF 144/430Mhz 2 Way Radio Antenna SMA Female Compatible with Kenwood TYT BAOFENG UV-82 BF-F8HP UV-5RA UV-5RE UV-5R Review

Don't have much time but great antenna so far. SWR in 2 meter ham band 1.5:1, in 70 cm ham band 1.2:1. The base seems much stronger compared to the Abree I own. Reception and transmission are also excellent.

Works damn well I'd say. much better than the fake i got with my baofeng which got no reception. I don't really care about the tripartition, it's a bit flimsy, hanging in three different places and unraveling at times, but it's very flexible and bendable, which is cool. I love this purchase.

So I ordered this antenna for wilderness and urban search and rescue work. I've had issues with previous antennas that didn't have a flexible gooseneck that would bend or break when attached to my vest. I ordered it, installed it in the radio and no more problems. However, it does not receive as well as my other flexible antennas.

I was a bit skeptical when I bought this antenna based on several reviews. I hooked it up to one of my radios and was able to tune into a repeater 7 miles away. Pretty impressed and it does what I need. Obviously you'll have some issues with portable reception, but once you're outdoors everything works great. I will buy again.

Good antenna but the connection between antenna base and radio mast is not very strong. I carry this radio in my MBITR pouch on my CRYE JPC and so far I have broken 2 of these antenna bases. If this is being used for LE/MIL/MIL-SIM purposes I would recommend using a gooseneck antenna instead or rerouting the cable. However, ideal for recreational use.
