Buyers beware of lack of QC.

The antenna fell off the connector so the SWR went up and couldn't receive any signals. I put the antenna on the SWR meter and it showed 6:1 on 2m and 5:1 on 70cm.

Pros
  • Always liked it
Cons
  • Not everything is as good as promised

Works better than the original antenna!

I had a pair of high powered walkie talkies so my wife could message my wife if I was in the woods or on the underside of our property and needed medical attention - just . Some idiot thought it would be funny to remove the antenna from one - maybe they need it, who knows. Long story short, I found a replacement for the Revain - it arrived in no time and the radio actually works much further than it used to.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Useless features

Good value for money, solid construction

SWR is slightly below US bands at best, but still acceptable on US bands (1.6 in range, 1.3 under). Still a much better antenna than the included HT antenna, even by the Big Three. My signal works well in an area not well suited to VHF/UHF - a working APRS allows me to see when I'm departing and from where. Sturdy construction easily withstands flexing and regular handling. If you don't feel like jumping for a comet or diamond, this is a good price. BNC is ideal for regular use between car…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Not exactly specified.

This BNC antenna arrived today and I immediately started testing it on my lab equipment. To be honest I didn't expect this antenna to be as good as the real Nagoya NA-771 (I had a real Nagoya NA-771 for reference but recently it broke beyond repair). I bought this inexpensive HYS Twin to replace my broken original Nagoya NA-771. This HYS antenna can be used, but the element is too long for optimal performance. SWR on VHF falls approximately 2:1 (two to one) on VHF, which can be used, but SWR on

Pros
  • Motorola: HT440, HT90: Maxon HR, CP500, CP520, 1015
Cons
  • Commercial availability
