Review on πŸ“Ά Enhance Communication Range with Walkie Talkie Antenna NA-701C - 8-Inch VHF/UHF Handheld Two-Way Radio Antenna (2 Pack) by Luiton by Chad Siofele

Revainrating 5 out of 5

As good if not better than the 8 " Nagoya

I recently bought a Nagoya na-701 antenna and it works great.I bought these simply because I was curious how they would compare to the Nagoya.I checked the SWR of these two antennas (2 sets) and the Nagoya and found that the readings are consistently lower than that of the Nagoya, with 2m readings around 1.0-1.8 across the band and 70cm readings around 1.8-2.0 across the entire band range and even up to GMRS frequencies Numbers are quite acceptable for a cellular antenna.Then I did a signal strength test comparing a standard baofeng,nagoya antenna and this antenna.I found this antenna to be much better than the standard baofeng antenna and just as good as them Nagoya, if not a little better. These antennas are amazing for the price and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an upgrade over the standard Baofeng antenna.

Pros
  • , specially tuned for transmit and receive on the commercial bands (optimized for 155/455MHz).
Cons
  • Not sure
