📡 AR-805S SMA-Female Dual Band High Gain Long Range Antenna for Baofeng BF-888S, UV-5R, UV-82, GT-3, UV-9R Plus, UV-XR, UV-S9 Series 2 Way Radio - Mini Short Walkie Talkie Antenna with Improved SEO Review

Based on our own experience, this antenna is not worth the trouble. The design seemed promising, but the performance was lackluster. The one pro is that it's compatible with a variety of CB and two-way radios. However, the cons are many. The range was extremely limited, making it virtually unusable for any sort of communication. The build quality felt cheap and flimsy, and it didn't seem like it would hold up to regular use. Save your money and look for better electronics elsewhere.

This definitely works better than the rubber ducky my baofeng came with. I don't have any official test equipment, but qualitatively it has the best range and clarity when I switch between this and my rubber ducky antenna. Plus it's fun to extend it all the way and have a slightly ridiculously long antenna.

The description says this antenna is for Baofeng UV-82 handheld transmitter. It's garbage! Luckily I recently bought an SWR/Power meter for these radios. When I connected everything and checked the antenna, it failed miserably! I got an SWR of 5.6:1. !.5:1 is the max you need. These antennas are garbage! Most likely illegal copies. Just expect that from Revain. The best antenna I have found for the Baofeng UV-82 is the ABBREE 28.3" Foldable Tactical Antenna. My SWR is 1.1:1.
