better antron 99

what a great antenna! Follow the instructions and this antenna will 100% work for you! I have an SWR of 1.0:1 on all 40 channels plus a few more!

Pros
  • practical
Cons
  • not everything fits

Not the best way to do business.

The seller delivered the antenna with defective, damaged, missing parts and refuses to repair it. Have contacted Revain many times so far

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • Expensive

Don't waste your money

This antenna box was a mess after opening after delivery, missing parts. When the antenna was mounted on a mast, the SWR could not be lowered. It sat on the corner waiting for my Antron 99 to arrive and when it arrived it worked as promised.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Long waiting time

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good alternative to the A-99 for the underused band.

Very good alternative to the A-99, Works without any complaints, Can't tell what's different from my A-99, However, I see a big price difference. To be honest, we know that the CB band is very little used today (at least here in North Georgia). For this reason I prefer not to pay too much for a simple antenna.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • old

Tuning the antenna according to the instructions for the desired frequency range resulted in very good performance with an SWR value close to 1 and no noticeable loss in transmit power. At first I thought the bottom part that fits into the tube mount was a bit short to support the weight/length of the antenna, but so far it seems to be enough. a screw (can be turned with the supplied larger hex key but presumably already installed) unless I missed another hole. Will check twice.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Clarity

Don't give away your money

Cons

At first I thought the lower part that fits into the support tube is a bit short to support the weight/length of the antenna, but for now it seems like it should be enough. an internal screw (can be turned with the supplied larger Allen key but appears to be already installed) unless I missed another hole.

  • Omnidirectional

  • Not bad
