📡 Yxisn5 Walkie Talkie Antenna - NA-771R 16-Inch Retractable VHF/UHF Dual Band Antenna (2 Pack), Compatible with Baofeng UV-5R UV-82 F8HP - SMA-Female Connector Review

Good alternative to the standard antenna. I put this on a Baofeng Triband HT and given the length and metal content so it has high gain I am using it at 220MHz and the signal reports are all good. From what I understand, this solved the problem of finding a cheap and decent tri-band antenna.

Product is true to size and fits well, fast delivery and works better than most antennas I've used on my Baofeng and Kenwood radios that I use for my fire station use my district. Well when the metal extension is pulled out it seems a little loose but seems fine. The video shows the FM radio mode inside the building to show how well it can pick up.

I bought two sets because one will be for me and the other will be for my friend. Mine works great and I haven't had any problems with it yet. I use it with the Baofeng uv-5r v2+ and get a significant gain over the standard antenna that comes with it. On the other hand, my friend's antenna also broke down and bent when folded. However, it still works and it's a great antenna to start 3rd party upgrades on Baofeng radio.

I initially ordered two of these units (4 antennas). Every kit should have rubber grommets for the antennas in case you need them, but one of my kits didn't have that. Wrote a letter to the seller asking them to send spacers. Instead, they sent me a replacement package of antennas WITH gaskets in less than a week. I am happy with the antennas and I am very happy with how the seller solved what was actually a small problem. I will not hesitate to do business with them again.

I have a Baofeng radio with terrible reception, nothing more. I'm onto the Bumped Yxisn5 Electronic Nagoya series antenna and was amazed. The standard antenna that comes with it has a very short reception range. I bought this 16" antenna and the reception has improved a lot. Previous radio frequencies were intermittent on my radio, but now that I have this extended antenna I know I'm getting better reception. I'm receiving channels I've never seen before. , I want to order this antenna years…
