Not as good as the shorter low-band antenna

This is much longer than it looks and very cumbersome. The biggest problem is that the channels that used to show up now have so much noise that in some cases it's difficult to see them. And in some cases they don't come at all.

Pros
  • ✔️ Rugged SMA tactical antenna; High-quality bending materials greatly improve the two-way radio signal. Dimensions: 18 inches / 48 cm!
Cons
  • Long delivery

Fake, Same as $12 HYS Antenna NOT Mirkit

See photos and photos in the ad. The numbers molded into this antenna are exactly the same as the $12 HYS antenna foldable+antenna+UV-5r&qid=1589643418&sr=8-6), the only difference is that there is no "mirkit " sticker on the HYS there. I haven't tested the cheap HYS but I'm willing to bet it has the same mediocre TX/RX as this fake mirkit. Save $26 and get HYS (link above) half price!

Pros
  • ✔️ Baofeng Antenna Increase Communication Range! Enjoy huge (> 6.5 miles) coverage of your radio with this radio antenna!
Cons
  • For a long time

Not as strong as you think

Works but likely to be more durable for something that calls 'tactical'. I got caught on a branch that broke off immediately. Any whip would have survived. And I really mean EVERYONE.

Pros
  • ✔️ Rugged SMA Tactical Antenna; High-quality bending materials greatly improve the two-way radio signal. Dimensions: 18 inches / 48 cm!
Cons
  • Very Expensive

Not suitable for UV5R

Does not fit Baofeng UV5R properly. Installed on my UV5R. There is a large gap between the antenna base and the radio antenna socket. This means that the antenna is not screwed into the radio as far as it will go.

Pros
  • ✔️Boost your Baofeng radio's signal significantly by using Baofeng's new SMA jack antenna: 136-174MHz, 400-520MHz, Dual Band
Cons
  • Has defects

Terrible SWR, cheap design, worse performance than standard Baofeng antenna

I tested this with my VNA and it performed worse than the stock Baofeng, Nagoya and even the stock rubber ducky Anytone. The SWR was 11:1 throughout the specified range (see image), so I was able to transfer into a piece of cheese as well. Cheap construction, the top was ripped off (did they even give me a new one?) and you can see it's just a pair of cut tape measures wrapped in shrink wrap. whose metal properties are very different from those found in typical HT antennas. The Mirkit sticker…

Pros
  • ✔️Comfortable use of Baofeng radio! The Baofeng Tactical Antenna has an adjustable gooseneck, which is very foldable and flexible!
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
