Doesn't work at all as described

Doesn't fit my baofeng as described, baofeng has a pen tip that goes into the antenna and screwing into this antenna doesn't work because the hole is too small I see another one customer has the same problem as me. Not worth buying at all.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • old

Much more range!

Compared AL-800 with Nagoya-771 and 717 and the difference was amazing! AH-800 connected repeaters at 50 miles on the Baofeng UV9R plus with high power, which is 15w handheld transmission at 2 meters and has no problem with 440 repeaters at 20+ miles! Recommend this antenna to anyone who needs long range HT! Be careful when using the telescopic radial, it is quite long and therefore heavy!

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Too tall for everyday use but has some performance boost

It's too long for everyday HT use (and could easily damage the SMA mount otherwise), but it has the VHF performance you want would expect. I doubt this is of any value for UHF. However, if you're in field station mode on VHF, or in the outback trying to set up a simplex in your base, or just need some extra range from your favorite repeater, this offers the opportunity. The SWR was pretty good, by the way, as you would expect for this type of device.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Negative impression

Pros
  • TWAYRDIO Dual Band SMA Female Antenna A high quality, high gain, low SWR telescopic antenna will help you improve your amateur radio connection.

Much more range!

I compared AL-800 with Nagoya-771 and 717 and the difference was striking! AH-800 connected repeaters 50 miles away on the Baofeng UV9R plus with high power, which is 15w handheld transmission at 2 meters, no problem with 440 repeaters more than 20 miles! Recommend this antenna to anyone who needs long range HT! Be careful when using the telescopic radial, it is quite long and therefore heavy!

Pros
  • Conventional antenna works best at UHF. and traditional antenna length: 220mm (with base). Normal antenna length: 162 mm. Telescopic antenna uncoated length: 153mm, total telescopic antenna length: 231mm (collapsed) / 860mm (full length).
Cons
  • I don't remember, but there was something

Too high for everyday use but has some performance benefits.

It's too long for everyday HT use (and could otherwise easily damage the SMA mount), but it has the expected VHF performance. I doubt this is of any value for UHF. However, if you're in field station mode on VHF, or in the outback trying to set up a simplex in your base, or just need some extra range from your favorite repeater, this offers the opportunity. The SWR was pretty good, by the way, as you would expect for this type of device.

Pros
  • Dual function antenna: telescopic antenna and conventional antenna. Can be interchangeable, use different antennas in different circumstances, the antenna is very easy to disassemble and easy to carry.
Cons
  • Bad impression
