QWB144 Antenna 144 152 Overall Height Review

Had to replace my old 10 year old. The radio works like new again! Easy to install, I oiled all the rubber seals to avoid water issues.

Very happy with this purchase. First of all, it arrived safely in a sturdy cardboard box that was filled with bubble wrap to protect the antenna. Other antennas were shipped to me in soft envelopes that were stuffed in my mailbox, bending the antennas. Not here, he was further protected. The antenna itself is of good quality with a durable black finish. Works well on the 2m ham belt. I highly recommend this Laird 1/4 wave antenna with NMO mount.

I really like this antenna, it works well and is barely noticeable on my truck. The SWR is near perfect @ 147,300 which is where I use it the most. The only thing that prevents me from giving 5 stars is that the foot of the antenna was scratched in one place (missing paint), nothing, touch up something with paint or a marker. couldn't fix it but it was still disappointing. I will definitely buy it again and hope that the next one has no paint damage.
