ABBREE tri-band foldable antenna - compact, robust and easy to deploy

The quality of this ABBREE foldable antenna, whether dual-band or tri-band, is undeniable and real impressive. And while the descriptive adjective "transparency" required on the review form for this product is a real headache given that this is a ham radio antenna and not a piece of underwear, in my opinion this antenna makes a world of difference. It is well built, of solid construction with quality materials, and performs well as a tri-band antenna on all three bands, although multi-band antennas are notoriously difficult to tune properly. This antenna folds in half or thirds very easily and is held in place with the included strap to form a very compact antenna that is quick and easy to deploy. It is equipped with an SMA socket and is therefore human-compatible. y, including most Baofeng products, although I believe they will also equip them with SMA connectors, making them compatible with other radios such as TYT and Yeasu. I only gave it four stars because any multiband antenna is a compromise. For best performance you really need a single band antenna that is center tuned to the particular frequency being used. Still, this ABBREE Foldable Tri-Band Tactical Antenna does what it's designed for so well that it's worth buying.

Pros
  • Frequency: 136-174/220-225/400-470 MHz
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
