GMRS High SWR Buyers Beware

I bought to install a GMRS repeater. The SWR is 1.88 at 462,600/467,600. I contacted Retivis directly and asked if there was a way to tune this antenna. The answer was simple: "Hello, MA02 does not turn on after verification. Excuse me. "1 star for misrepresenting the product and the SWR listed.

Pros
  • High Quality Glass Steel & High Strength Alloy Connector
Cons
  • Small Parts

Poor performance and very high SWR on higher UHF and GMRS bands.

I asked Retevis about the 462MHz SWR before I bought it (see their answer in the Questions/Answers above). A great sounding answer was given with the promise of low SWR. Well the antenna arrived quickly and I looked forward to picking it up and entering the cabin. Easy to assemble and the quality is very good. It even had an O-ring between the two mast sections, which I've never seen on other manufacturers. Unfortunately, performance was very poor at higher UHF frequencies, so I decided to test

Pros
  • Effective generator protection against strong winds and thunderstorms
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
