Cheap Metal Parts

The antenna has a broken thread. He collapsed immediately when he tripped over a low hanging branch. Good for indoor use. Not powerful enough for field use.

Pros
  • Foldable tactical CS antenna, which is easy to carry and can help your portable radio to increase the talking range.
Cons
  • old

Better than I expected

So I bought this thinking it was an Abree antenna. But it works and looks great. It transmits the signal very well, which surprised me. Added to my list of brands that don't smell.

Pros
  • 2m/70cm (144MHz/430MHz) Foldable Portable Antenna; Connector: SMA Female
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Static reception

I haven't tried transmitting with it, mainly because reception is very noisy. A 15 inch whip antenna or even a standard antenna will get a clearer signal/reception on Baofeng.

Pros
  • HYS SMA-FEMALE The antenna is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, outdoor adventure club, camping and road trip. Lightweight, flexible and easy to install, the antenna doesn't take up space so you can carry it in an external backpack bag.
Cons
  • Low maintainability

High Quality Tactical Flex Whip VHF/UHF Antenna

As a radio amateur I would say that this is one of the best VHF/UHF tactical flexible whip antennas covering a fairly wide range of VHF and UHF frequencies: VHF: 134MHz to 174MHz UHF: 400MHz to 520MHz MAX. POWER: 12WMAX. GAIN: 4.2 dB Manufacturer: HYS (Made in China)

Pros
  • Compatible with AnyTone, BaoFeng, some Wouxun and Kenwood handheld radios;
Cons
  • High price

Terrible signal reports, do not buy

I have two Baofeng BF-F8HP PDAs. I connected a HYS CS Tactical SMA Female Dual Band VHF UHF 144/430MHz 31.5" Foldable Tactical Antenna (the antenna I'm considering) to one and a Nagoya NA-771 whip antenna to the other. Results : HYS CS SMA Female Dual Band VHF UHF 144/430MHz Foldable Tactical Antenna 31.5" Antenna has terrible signal reports. In fact, most stations on the 2M simplex could not even hear me. On the other hand, Nagoya received NA-771, which coincided with a identical handset…

Pros
  • Maximum power consumption - Watts: 20W (ham radio less than 20W); Gain: 3.2/5.2 dBi;
Cons
  • I won't say anything
