Review on Tram 140MHz-170MHz + 430MHz-470MHz Dual Band NMO Antenna (1181): Efficient Wireless Communication Solution by Matt Duffy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for 2 meter - antennas

Tested with FT-818 SWR meter and Nagoya RB-700N mount/cable. I don't have a real SWR meter yet. The antenna works great at a distance of 2 meters despite having a lower SWR than my Diamond Mag Mount. But 70cm is another story, the SWR is so high that if I don't turn the power down to 1 watt my radio will stop transmitting, even then the SWR has gone through the roof! If you're looking for a $10 single band 2m NMO antenna, you can't go wrong. -2 stars for utility like scrap metal at 70cm.

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Unreliable
