Works as described: CB & Radio

Quality is acceptable (time will tell) and allows me to reach repeaters on my HT that I couldn't reach with the OEM rubber tag. This doubled my TX range from 10 miles to 20 miles by my estimate.

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Neutral

SMA male to fit Yaesu FT-70 jack

I am getting a good signal on our local UHF repeater on my FT-70DR. I can clearly hear the National Weather Service from two distant stations and another 90 miles away, as can our local NWS broadcast; The VHF air range works well too. This antenna is not suitable for BaoFeng BF-F8+ or UV5R+. Requires SMA jack or "reverse SMA" antenna socket. I also plan to order.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Not the best

Outstanding performance, unbreakable

Fantastic win! The half wavelength stretches from the top of Mount Monadnock to Franklin, Massachusetts - about 65 miles. When hiking I didn't have to worry about low branches or the antenna breaking (like a telescopic antenna) because it would just bend and then go back up (I carried the radio in my backpack with the antenna 2 up). ). legs above head). Best portable 2m antenna I've ever had.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Useless features

Noticeable improvement!

This antenna was purchased to upgrade my Yaesu VX-3R which is already a fairly weak radio. It was a challenge to get to some of the repeaters that I like to use. The short antenna that came in the box didn't help much. I got this antenna to improve things and the improvement has been remarkable. I was able to turn off the repeaters completely and could now hear more than before. The "foldable" nature of the antenna means that it can bend and fold as needed without experiencing deformation in…

Pros
  • Good performance
Cons
  • No

VX-7R does not fit well

The base connector when screwing onto the antenna connector for the VX-7R interferes with the rubber cover of the microphone and speaker/headphone jacks, so the only way to make a solid connection is on the threaded antenna connector to remove the rubber plugs from the microphone/headphone jack. There is a gap in the antenna connector. Clearly not waterproof, and with the 31-inch antenna it feels a bit heavier, with the feeling that moving your wrist while holding the VX-7R, for example, could…

Pros
  • Quick replacement
Cons
  • old
