Ideal for CB radios and talkback

Works great. Shipping was pretty quick, shipped the same day I ordered. The price is really good for this amazingly long antenna.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Great product - Accessory

All I can say is WOW. This is almost a 3.5ft HT antenna. Transmission and reception are excellent. Good buy, arrived a day early.

Pros
  • Easy to set up
Cons
  • Modern

Great antenna well made

Get great 1/2w signal reports on local repeaters and work with some 5w simplexes. The radio is a Yaesu FT3D, I was wondering if it would fit and it does. This is now my daily burden.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable shorter than others

Very good antenna for a Pocket Simplex!

Just got back from a walk where I called 146.520 FM Simplex and got a clear connection through trees and structure, no elevation change, 8.6 miles / 13.8 km away. I'm new to this hobby and this is my longest simplex QSO so far. The station on the other end of the line told me the signal was coming through the back of its yagi, which was facing the opposite direction, and we could easily hear each other. It's a summer morning, so I'm not sure if tropospheric conditions had an impact. However, I…

Pros
  • Very good value
Cons
  • Incredible piggy bank

Best I've found for CB and Radio

This antenna and open HR-22 are the best telescopes for 2m full extension. Best SWR on all antennas I've used. Then at 70cm you have to remove 2 sections to get a high SWR, if you have an analyzer use it to mark at the desired frequencies.

Pros
  • Portable A/V
Cons
  • Some problems

Significant Signal Improvement

When I upgraded to a TWAYRDIO Dual Band VHF with 42" retractable SMA connector and fully extended the antenna, I experienced a significant improvement in signal strength and quality. on the 2 meter band. At this length it works like a 1/2 wave antenna and does not need to be grounded.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Some Difficulties

Great antenna!: CB & Radio

I ended up having to buy a small adapter to get it working on my HT but overall I like it. In terms of performance, it's easy to give it 5 stars. Much better gain and range than the rubber ducky. The performance of a mobile antenna in a convenient foldable HT antenna. For durability I only give it 3 stars because it bends easily when stretched. I see someone drop their radio on a path or something and it breaks. you have to be careful with him.

Pros
  • CB & Radio
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

NanoVNA test results from 50-900MHz

Bought this antenna to replace the stylus for my Malachite SDR. This one is much better built, it's black and heavy. Sections are denser than cheap telescopic antennas, and according to my NanoVNA sweeps (red lead pin out, blue lead pin in) it should work fairly well with VHF/UHF (HT) portable transceivers. I ran my hand over the body of the antenna ground connector, but the change was unnoticeable. The response drops off sharply below 50MHz and above 900MHz. All in all I can recommend this…

Pros
  • Antennas
Cons
  • Almost never
