📻 StickyDeal CS Tactical Folding Antenna: 42.5" Dual Band VHF UHF 144/430Mhz SMA Female Ham Radio Antenna for Baofeng UV-5R BF-F8HP UV-82 Handheld Ham Radio - High Performance and Convenience Guaranteed Review

Just installing this antenna on my PDA has doubled my range. In short, very reliable, inexpensive and durable. Great product at a reasonable price.

If I remove the antenna the reception is better, it crackles in the curve and I've only had it for a few weeks. Was hoping it would be more durable.

The thread on the antenna is too flat and doesn't screw into the radio deep enough, so the antenna can be loosened, which greatly improves radio transmission, would be good for a Radio that is not processed much

It was a great purchase. Folds up nicely and fits in my rig and also fits the radio perfectly without being in my rig. Definitely recommend getting one of these if you're cop, military or just trying to put together a solid kit.

I bought this for my Baeofeng radios to get reception. Very satisfied, I like the folding design like we used in the army for short-range radios. This allows you to minimize the tactical load. It met my needs, improved my radio reception and extended my range by nearly two miles! Is worth the money and is a big improvement over the standard antenna.
