Review on High-Gain Dual Band Extendable Antenna AL-800 with SMA-Female Connector for Two-Way Radios by Ken Ventura

This antenna gives you two or three times the range of a rubber duck antenna. The problem is that it's about 3 feet tall and awkward to use in tight spaces like a car. Just get out of the car. Buy a few too. You will bend and break them as you go. This antenna will not take a hit on the top of a door frame when you walk through it. Anything you walk under will bend the antenna. This will also last as long as you treat it with care. Keep pulling the base back into the base. Never close it from top to bottom. Also, don't put the radio on the table and don't walk away. The child will shake the table, your radio will collapse, the antenna will bend. If you are a careless person, do not buy this. If you are cautious and like the MUCH higher returns then buy it. But after you buy it and like it, buy a replacement part. No matter how careful you try, an accident will bend it, and you'll already have a spare!
