good antennas! on accessories

They are good - perfect size and better reception than standard Baofeng GT 3. Also more durable - not so weak. One note - you may need to trim the base plastic for a proper fit, but that's no big deal πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Very expensive

I bought it because it came free with my radio.

Nothing special here, but not bad either. It was free with my purchase and it gives me an extra antenna. I did not do any formal testing. When I do, I'll come back and update.

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Protection

Neat efficient replacement for rubber ducky

Match well with Baofeng UV-5R transceiver. Both VHF radio and 2M44 work great with this flexible, compact antenna. Another idea you might want to consider is installing an optional counterpoise at the base of the antenna, which will greatly improve performance. There was no finished product on the market. [.]

Pros
  • Beautiful appearance
Cons
  • Reliability

Good quality antenna

I bought this antenna for my UV-5X3 and it works well compared to the standard radio antenna. A small increase in RX, but noticeable. This antenna does not cover the 220MHz band for TX. It seems to be a small improvement over the stock antenna. The antenna is much more flexible than my normal one. If I were two years old and tossed a radio in my backpack, I'd love to have this antenna on it. de K6WGX

Pros
  • Excellent fit for me
Cons
  • Easily repairable

The signal is better than the standard antenna!

Better gain and signal than standard antenna. As soon as I switched on an FM transmitter, I could quickly tell the difference. Great price by Revain & Radioditty, fast shipping and a nice secure email follow up to make sure Ure is happy with his purchase. I have purchased other equipment from Radioditty and am very happy with their service and have faith that they will be there when I need them!

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Anything I can add

Great option for UV-82 Baofeng

Initial thoughts were that the packaging looked a bit sketchy. You never know what quality you'll get if it's still in the original packaging from China. When all the fake Nangoya is pumped out, you never know what you're going to get. After installing the antenna I found that the reception on my uv82 was better than the standard duck antenna. Also a good boost for my transmit signals. Local repeaters say I came loud and clear. This antenna proved to be a great build and also a great option if…

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
